    IR35 contract advice please

    Hi, 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. I started a new contact two weeks ago with a local authority and it has been deemed outside of IR35...

    Contractor appointment as Director / Officer under IR35? Impact on contractor status

    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...

    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 but they put...

    "Inside IR35" but I am not UK tax-resident

    Hi, I have my own UK limited company and signed a contract with a client (private small company) from Sweden. The contract has no end and will continue until one of the parties decides to terminate it. I'm working for this company full-time and I'm pretty much an employee except that I'm not an...

    Apportioning tax-deductible business expenses, between outside and inside IR35 roles

    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 can...

    Is IPSE Plus membership worth the extra cost for the initial tax investigation cover?

    I've been a Standard member of IPSE (previously PCG) for many years, mainly because of the tax investigation cover peace of mind. My IPSE renewal is due up soon and although I'm probably going to close my company down in the coming months, I'm wondering if it's worth upgrading my membership for...

    Uneven notice period advice

    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.

    IR35 reform delay - too late to help?

    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 'the...

    inside IR35 payroll contract, but unlimited financial risk

    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 go wrong, and if...

    Increasing HMRC revenue via IR35 changes is flawed

    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 options...
