Not sure how such a strategy would sit with that. Still, I agree with what you say - the slides were absolutely clear. Correct? Not so sure. But that was indeed far from the least sane part of the workshop.
The TAAR is surely to tackle longer term abuse - why do you think I asked the question regarding the fee payer?Last edited by eek; 6 March 2021, 10:10.

That’s an interesting question, actually, but my reading of the transitional provisions in the ITEPA is that a chain payment should be apportioned (treated as two separate chain payments) for services actually performed before and after April 6 in that case.
The requirements are and I quote here directly from the slide
"For engagements where the client is a medium or large-sized non-public sector
organisation.
• The new rules will apply to any payment for services made on or after 6 April
2021, and those services are provided by the worker to the end client on or
after 6 April 2021"
So if you can get a large prepayment prior to April 6th - no SDS is required until just prior to the first payment (by the end client) post April 6th 2021 for work done after April 6th 2021.
For those looking from the outside yes this is rather insane but that wasn't the most clueless part of the workshop.

Would this get around the IR35 April 2021 changes? I know it's a short term fix, but could it work for a couple of months of work.

Does the contract have to explicitly say when the work will be carried out? I thought the whole point was to aim for a deliverable (i.e. support coverage) rather than dictate when and where.
But support 9-5 M-F (and a couple hours that might fall outside this) is not a deliverable. That's paying for time whether it's prepaid in a block or not doesn't matter.

Because IR35 is based on the way you work. If you work like a perm you get taxed like a perm. Payment is for work done so that work should be taxed in line with how the work is considered for IR35. The SDS is role based, not payment date based.
And chances of a client paying upfront becuase your tax situation is......
So eek is right.
