Ohh yeah... and unless you are a window cleaner or summat sack the verbal contracts and get it in writing. You are on slippery slope messing around like that.

5I really dont want to be rude but have you done any research in to IR35 and your situation? Try links on the right hand side. The answer to your question should become very apparant after a couple of minutes reading.

By reading this and getting a basic understanding you should be able to answer any other questions you have on the basics of IR35.

Failing this you could try google. Not only will you find reams of IR35 information you will also find plenty of articles directly related to your situation....

A bit like this one for example....

Sole trader and IR35

Hi there,

I'm relatively new to contracting but am still very unclear on the rules governing how long you can work for a company as a contractor: my basic understanding is it all relates to exactly how a contractor works with their client, so I thought I'd spell out mine.

I originally cold called a company and sold my services in to them.
I am a sole trader, do not use a LTD company.
My contract clearly states I'm an independent supplier of services to the organisation.
I work for multiple different companies within the large organisation with multiple contracts, many verbal.
I don't have a boss, am not part of a team, work across multiple sites including working from home.
I choose when and where I work.

Does this mean I could work for this client indefinitely? I'd really appreciate any advice on this -
