It may seem like the same thing, but the company probably has a blanket ban on contractors via PSCs. In short, they don't want contractors to go "inside IR35", they simply don't want contractors via PSCs anymore, so IR35 becomes moot and there is no need for an SDS.

Unfortunately Company B or C have not done the determination (or if they have it never got to the worker in the chain) but Company B is getting rid of any contractors not willing to go inside IR35. I was just trying to help other contractors who have been treated badly by the process not being followed and having the name on a list they had no idea about. I agree with you but this is the way Company B has treated the situation - very badly IMO.
Perfectly valid and the path of least risk for the company (once any hold out contractors have left).

If there is no determination then they are not being forced inside.

If you say so. I was going to leave before April 6th anyway due to retiring just wanted to know who in the chain was responsible as there are other contractors involved and being treated in such a way they are losing there contracts due to the larger companies forcing inside IR35 without any Determination of the roles all of which would be different.

Yeah, but since they asked, I probably would. Better to cover your ****, even though it wouldn't constitute "fraud" to ignore their request. Overall, the best policy is probably not to ask questions at all and simply let the supply chain figure it out and carry the risk (post April, that is), but since the OP did ask questions and then contacted HMRC...

I don't think you need to worry about anything past April anymore.

Cojak,
My current contract does straddle the 6th April and at that point would fall under the reform and Company B were informed when the contracts went out so they would become liable from 6th April hence why they are now terminating my contract - don't know why they didn't just renew to April and then sort out a new on but they didn't want to do the SDS and done a blanket inside which the legislation is supposed to stop happening.
It was only when I saw my role advertised that I had any idea I was going to be terminated. I chased for the SDS and never got a response so will be reporting them.
Thanks.
C.J.

Will also add that you mention “skills”, so the supply by B is probably not fully contracted out and the responsibility for the SDS is probably with C.

It’s quite difficult for us to answer this one definitively, but it will be either Company B or Company C. If the supply by B is a “fully contracted out” service, then B will be responsible, otherwise C. This assumes that B and C are not “small” companies. Clear as mud?

So company A is you.
Agency is the fee payer
Company B is the agency's client.
Company C is the end customer
So the agency is responsible for getting the decision from Company B. But Company C may have rules that determine what that decision will be (say a blanket ban on SDSs including third party suppliers).
So all you can do is hassle the agency and say that you need the determination so that you can schedule future work.Last edited by eek; 26 February 2021, 08:00.
