Yes he does. IR35 covers Friday to Monday contractors. Carrying on a role that you were doing as a permie can't be anything but inside. All that has changed is they way you are paid so can't be anything but disguised employment. I very much doubt the part time aspect makes any difference at all.

Yes it would be the same role but on PT basis.Originally posted by MrMarkyMark View PostNo, each contract is treated separately for IR35.
Would you be effectively be going back and doing the same role, albeit on a part time basis?
Also, depending on what you do, do not assume you will easily pick up other free lance part time work to support this.
point noted about gaining other work.

No, each contract is treated separately for IR35.Originally posted by Cid View PostHello...
i'm currently PAYE with a company in the city.
it has been discussed about the possibility of me going free lance and then working for 2 days a week for the company.
this would be a direct contract with no agency's etc.
The company are decent people and already have a couple of people who work in this fashion.
So i have no concerns about making this change.
However the whole umbrella/LTD/Accountant thing can get a bit confusing.
from what i have read it appears that as a direct contract, i can better protect myself from IR35.
So going down the route of a LTD with an accountant is going to be best.
note i would only be working 2 days per week with my current company.
i would be looking to get a direct contract for another day or two per week elsewhere.
or maybe take on some ad-hoc hourly work for other clients.
this would make a stronger case for being outside IR35 ?
Cheers
