If you are direct, that's the client.
If you are via an agency and there are no other companies in the mix, it's the agency.
If you are via an agency and there are other companies in the chain, then it's the company closest to the intermediary that is used by the individual (eg a payroll company paying your limited company).
Fee payer = the company that pays the fees to your company.
If you use an umbrella company then this is all irrelevant.

Ultimately while he was there he took every precaution necessary to ensure it was outside IR35. We used to have daily conversations on Slack about how he had to refuse to do certain work as it was outside the scope of his contract.

Apparently, in this case, the one question that killed it was - would a contractor fix at their own expense? They said no we'd pay them to come in. Strange thing to say.
Even in other BAU type clients if things have gone wrong and its been something I did, I'd make a point of sorting it myself and not claiming any extra time.
Appreciate there are tons of grey areas with things like this at a LOT of clients. You could answer a lot of these questions either way I think. Just a bit surprised that they didn't appear to consider this.

Originally posted by northernladuk View PostI don't think this is true. I've yet to see a client that makes contractors fix stuff in their own time. It's part of the job to them. You code something wrong, send docs for review with mistakes, it goes through the process, comes back, gets corrected and through the process again. Part of the daily job. It's not a strange thing to say if they see it as part of the job at all.
I very much doubt you'd do any work in your own time, your fault or not. And even if you do client will see it as a bit of above and beyond and not you fixing it in your own time.
If you were the type that does extra time regularly you could try educate your client that's the time you do the fixes and it's your time but you'd have to be in the gig for that so no help when making the initial determination.

I can't see that much would've changed between then and now.
