OK, before we have another question from you, can you tell us who your accountant is?

Uk Ltd Co for my bank account - The agency is in Poland.

IR35 not applicable then

So UK LtdCo and UK agency?

Hi, I will be paid direct into UK business bank account (or probably any bank account I don't think the agency will know or care...

The most important part has been missed, how will you be paid? Knowing that will tell you where your liabilities lies

Hi all

I have a new contract opportunity - Agency in Poland, paid in Euros. End Client is US. remote working for EU projects (not UK) - Does IR35 apply in this scenario?

Thanks

I don't know.

Some people have an aol.com email address, others have an aol.co.uk email address. And then some people have the same name in front of both.

Weird, huh?

Not at all, they are both my accounts. Good spot - sometimes the people on this forum can be quite sanctimonious so at times I ask the same or similar question to try elicit more info. thanks for your input.

[WTFH]

Why would I have 2 accounts if I only wanted 1?

By the way, would you like us to merge your two accounts into one?

Hi all

End Client is US.

Thanks

In addition to other posts, also specifically check your insurance cover (PI / PL etc) - I have seen some that exclude US related work / there is a question at proposal/renewal stage that asks if any of your work will be for the US / US markets / US parent etc. You may have previously said "No" and renewed on the same terms - thus not be covered.

If you end up traveling to the US as part of it, also check your travel insurance (.. covers both US and specifically, business travel to the US/on behalf of your business etc)

Just make sure the contract is outside IR35 and not worry about it. It is highly unlikely that HMRC would contact a foreign client. The biggest risk in this case is ensuring you get paid. I would advise asking for weekly payments. The fact that you are remote reduces the risk as you won't have any travel costs.

[WTFH]

You have IR35 to consider, possibly.
You've got US jurisdiction to consider, possibly.
You've got exchange rates to consider and possibly extra charges by banks/accountants.

Based on your previous posts, I would suggest you think long and hard before making any decision on it.

Depends where you live. I'd be more worried about what the fook happens if someone decides they're not going to pay you. IR35 is likely to be the least of your worries.
