Annoying new 'off payroll' question on SA100 Tax Return??

[Cuckoo]

Since I last submitted a tax return they have added a new question 8 on the employment pages:



The notes say:



I was working outside IR35 through my own Ltd Co until Apr 2021 and then closed the company mid 2021. The question seems to say to tick the...

If one is open for both contract and permanent, how to arrive at equivalent pay?

Suppose in https://www.contractorcalculator.co....alculator.aspx here we put 400/day inside IR35, we get below calculation :

• Contract outside of IR35:
  • Net monthly income is around £5,096
  • Permanent salary

Hi everyone! I'd like to ask you for some help to make the best decision. Here's my situation:

1. Currently working as perm
2. The client I'd be contracting for is based in the US (which is why they can only hire me as a contractor in the UK)
3. They don't have a clue of what inside/outside IR35 means
4. I'd

I am considering transitioning to contracting and I would like to ask about a few things - not necessarily about the diference between inside/outside IR35 etc, bench time, saving money etc, I've done some reading by now. I would appreciate if experienced contractors could share their views on what I...

Hello

My current outside IR35 contract is ending soon and I've just got an offer for an inside IR35 contract which according to the generic contractor salary calculator means a quite nice pay increase: from 400d outside to 700d inside. My preference is outside IR35 but this is a good client...

I have been off work with a bad case of the flu/ sickness for the past 2 days and texted in to client manager to let her know each morning that I'm not well enough to work. However this afternoon she replied stating that if I take further time off this week that I must obtain a sick note.

I've accepted my first 'inside IR35' assignment to start in the new year.
I am keen to continue operating my limited company, as I have an investment property that is owned through it, so I still have the responsibility of submitting EOY accounts to HMRC. With that in mind, I see little point...

[davec123]

Good evening all,
I’ve been out the contracting work for a few years now and been books in. I’m thinking of returning to contracting and looking for advice from anyone working inside IR35 now.
1. Do I still need to be a Ltd company or Will sole trader work?
2. The consultant jobs...

[sidestepping]

Trying to go contract, but most employers I speak to seem .. dare I say it, immature and unprofessional. Most want to avoid conversations around IR35 or don't know about it at all.How do you get started contracting yourself out to professional employers?

I'm a dev/data scientist with 10+...

[luimneach2005]

Haven't contracted in several years and it's all a
bit weird to me.

Is it normal to have a penalty clause that requires ££ if you don't provide/work a notice period? Is it normal to have to sign off deliverables (that you are not capable of delivering alone) before having time...

[redpill]

My insurance is due and I'm wondering whether I should just take out professional/public liability insurance for £170 or cough up for IR35 insurance which is another £300. I know the emphasis is on the client now to deem your IR35 status so perhaps shouldn't need the insurance but I'm just wondering...

[ContractorGC]

Umbrella companies deduct employer NI and employee NI from a contractor’s day rate agreed with the hiring manager. Is this fair? Is the umbrella companies just a facade for double NI collection from a contractor’s day rate? Most hiring managers are not even aware that employer’s NI is being paid...

Hi there.

I was unfortunately classified to fall inside IR35 only a month after my start date on this new assignment, so will now have to switch to an Umbrella.

I very much wish to continue working through my PSC, maybe straight after this assignment ends, so planning to keep...

[Davenutter]

Hi,

1st time poster .. my agency has asked me to do a CEST and then to send them the outcome.

My current thoughts are that it's my company and my CEST and my decision, why should I send it to you!!! He seems to think that it's part of my engagement that I produce this for him...

Hi all,

I'm a newbie to this site and am taking on a new contract for the first time, and wanted to check something with you all as I wasn't clear on the IR35 changes.

Hi everyone,

I've been reading lots of IR35 related threads (I'm still confused) but I would also really appreciate your feedback on my current situation.

Hi Everyone,

I'm new to this and sorry if this is covered all over the place.

Like every contractor (certainly most), I'm now on the verge of heading Inside IR35 with Experis (Sky) from April 6th bar a last minute miracle by HMRC (lol).

I have been a long-term observer on the forum, but this is the first time I have posted, and I was looking to get some advice on a new contract I have recently started and the IR35 status.

Hi everyone,

I have a couple of questions in regards to running my own limited company and working on contracts inside IR35.

2) pay business expenses (e.g. website,...

Hi all - I am a chartered accountant providing consulting services to currently 4 clients on day rates through my limited company. One of the my clients wants me to sit on the Board, but I am fairly sure this will jeopardise my position with that client (and perhaps all my clients?) under IR35? I...

Hi,

As a IR35 contractor through an agency (not umbrella ), I am supposed to be paid weekly. I submitted my timesheets every week but my manager didn't approve them until 1 month so he approved 4 timesheets in one go.

Now I received the payment for those 4 weeks from the agency...

Hi All,
So having given up on getting answers from QDOS (and cancelling my IR35 insurance), I'm after some initial advice before I spends lots of money on a dedicated IR35 person.

Have been offered a new 9-month contract starting 1st December with a private sector client (through an agency), it's outside IR35

All sounds good but the client isn't very experienced with using a contractor and the agency will say anything! Should I be worried about the contract going...

[KaiProctor]

Hi,

I have been contracting inside IR35 for a while now. I pay an umbrella company £100 per month for their services (£1200 pa). I was considering going down the limited company route on the basis that I will save approx £1k per annum (£1200 of umbrella fees - £200 of limited company...

Hi,

I used to be a LTD contractor and just moved to IR35. I got my first payslip but I don't understand it. Can someone explains to me those numbers?

The total paid by the client to the umbrella company is...

Hi,

[Friendlygribbon]

Is it actually going to be possible to switch between different IR35 roles given the potential complexity to manage genuine business expenses?

My understanding is that most of the business expenses below can currently be claimed, but if you start an inside IR35 project the expenses you...

Hi all, I have searched the forums but haven't been able to find information that will help answer my query, so I hope that you can help.

Hi,

In my existing contract I had the agency amend the notice period from 20 days client, 10 days contractor, to which the client agreed on a 20/20 even split.

I requested this as I believed an even period would be better for outside IR35 purposes

I am about...

[mrrossi]

So literally 2 hours before the IR35 reform delay was announced, my client FINALLY made a decision on how they were going to proceed.

They had decided that the role was 'inside' IR35. However, they stated that they would NOT issue an SDS to the agency, they would simply say to the agency...

Hello,

I'm wading through my first inside IR35 contract at the moment - which is a weird 3 way contract between a payroll company, the "employment business" (the recruiter), and me personally. I'm used to signing contracts as a limited company, I have insurance in case things...

Hi all,

Pretty much as the title says. Anyone contracting through LA International get the email “mandating” extra IR35 fee’s that are not in any contacts. What’s the thoughts on legality of this? I review all my contacts anyway. Just more interested in “email” becoming binding...

[mockedguy]

I don't get the logic behind HMRC and the IR35 changes. As far as I understand the ultimate objective is to increase the tax revenue to HMRC, based on the assumption contractors are underpaying it, but the figures seem to state the opposite.

e.g. I made up a spreadsheet to compare the...

Hi All and sorry if this has been asked 100 times before.

Hi,

I have been through the site and seen other similar questions but they don't quite answer mine. Many other PSL questions seem to have included Paystream which is recommended but not on mine.

I've been offered a role which I have been told all along was outside of IR35.

I'm just gonna do this post as a list of events / concerns which have occurred with this role, firstly as a warning to other contractors (as I think this is a pretty dodgy situation), but also to get your views...

[Scoooby]

I've been assessed as inside IR35 by the client which I've challenged. They have 45 days to respond, which could well be after when the contract ends at the end of March and I'm not holding my breath for a change in decision.


There is the possibility of a new contract, but I...

Just wanted to clarify something about contract roles via Umbrella's and whether an SDS has to be provided for that role (or any individual contractor).

Hi,

Looks like my client is putting everyone inside. I'll hang around until I find something else, I'd rather be bringing something in then dipping into my warchest.

But I have a question on how the PAYE is paid. Do I invoice as normally and pay it in my SA or does my client...

[HappyGoLucky]

Myself and few fellow contractors recently had our 'you're inside, here are your options' letter from our common client.

They used the CEST tool and sent us copies of the form. They have lied on some of the answers to get the determination they wanted. I can prove using both terms in...
