    That's temping which should automatically put you inside. I'd suggest you go read up what substitution is. Plenty of articles on Google.

    Try not to duplicate the question as well please.

    If you are outside you can.

    So surely HMRC is losing VAT?
    If you are operating through a ltd company, and are VAT registered, you need to add VAT whether or not you are IR35 caught. One of the examples covers this.

    The legislation removing the tax advantages of an MSC was announced in December 2006 and introduced in 2007.

    I don't see your suggestion as being akin to an MSC, though.

    To be honest, the business NI should be covered by the client if I'm treated as an employee; the umbrella are, to all intents and purposes, the end client's payroll company.

    Thanks, wasn't clear on that. [emoji106]🏾

    If we don't constantly correct him how are they going to know what's worth reading and what isn't. I just. Don't think the ignore button is the whole solution.

    If everyone had the time to gather all this knowledge themselves what would the point of the forum be? Just a place for you and your mates to hang out? If that's what you want why don't you stay in the "fun chat" area and stop attempting to abuse people for wanting to discuss ideas.

    Is all this IR35 nonsense really worth it?
