Another consideration (yeah I know loads of stuff) is how long you have been there. If it's a matter of weeks then the back tax is less bad than say 20 months. Also inside IR35 as you know you can't claim T&S, but if you're getting close to 24 months it becomes less relevant as outside IR35 you can't claim it either.

I need to give at least a week's notice and I'm unlikely to be paid before the 5th April, so whatever happens I'll get a payment after the 5th - unless I forfeit a few weeks salary and ask not to be paid. I have a few weeks before my next appointment starts, so I could cancel the contract and wait it out as unemployed for a couple of weeks. I'm just trying to get a feel for how likely it'll be that HMRC takes retrospective action on contracts - my accountant and the chap at QDOS said it's unlikely - although who knows...
That said, what has your accountant and the chap at QDOS said about your contract now being deemed inside IR35?

You're currently in a role that has been deemed inside IR35?
Was it outside IR35 in March, i.e. now?
If that's the case, I'd want that contract terminating and paying up before next Thursday.

Pemie role - jump ship before 5th April
Hi,
I've just been told I'm deemed inside IR35 (as I thought I would be - it's easier and safer from a public sector perspective). Interestingly I've plugged my details into a couple of IR35 take home calculators and they come out with 2 different figures, about £1,000 per month apart (contractor uk being the lower figure and one I'm more inclined to follow).
