    What about other services, for example an in house massage service, that staff have to pay for to use and is not subsidized and is completely paid for when used only. Is that permitted for outside Ir35 contractors?

    If the use of the Cafe is not permitted what about the bathrooms? I know the bathrooms are subsidized, they are cleaned by the company and they supply toilet paper. Do i have to bring my own toilet paper to work if i am outside ir35? Maybe HMRC expect me to rent a portaloo and stick it outside the front door of the law firm i work at. I am just trying to find out exactly what i can and can't use being outside IR35. I have no problem bringing in my own toilet paper if that is what HMRC wants me to do and yes I would claim the toilet paper on expenses if it was a requirement.

    Don't post your jokes in the professional fora; I'm glad this was moved to general.

    It was a serious question with a joke mocking IR35 as well. Thanks for answering the serious question, which was about using the cafe, to which you said if it is restricted for staff then contractors can't use it. Which is ridiculous as well as contractors are given passes that give them access to those services, including the toilets.

    Any way, don't get too emotional about it. i know just as much as I think IR35 is ridiculous their are accountants that are making money off it just the same and companies that are going to save money while they forced everyone in to quasi-permanent employment.

    As for making a fool out of myself, get over yourself.

    HMRC are not much fun. Just ask the families of the 7 LC suicide victims.

    Now you are being silly and a tad rude to some of the good advice available on here.

    Wasn't it EO who always used the local library 30 seconds away? But that was fear his contract would be terminated due to the stink he made?

    All contractors have to use NLyUK. You will get a 50% discount if you want the radiator bleeding service.

    What was the context that they told it to you?
