Hi all
Had a QDOS review on a contract and they suggested the following changes would be required to secure an outside determination. They stated:
"Clause 9 - The right to provide a substitute is one of the most important tests in determining IR35
status. It is therefore crucial there is a...
Hi All and sorry if this has been asked 100 times before.
I am new to a public sector contract and therefore new to falling inside IR35.
I assumed, because the agent said I could, that I could continue to work through my Ltd Co. Having received the paperwork, and done some research, I am not...
Hi,
I am currently negotiating my contract and have seen in both Giant's and Nasa's contracts that it mentions:
1.) National Minimum Wage
2.) Bonus which is discretionary.
I was told that on my monthly payslip it would be split as above.
What is there to stop an Umbrella from actually paying...
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.
My PSL list is:
Nasa Group
Clipper Contracting
Crest Plus
Danbro
Giant Group
JMK Group
Racs Group...
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 of...
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 don't want to...
Hi all
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).
If a client (post April 6th) decides to engage a contractor via an Umbrella (I'm not saying they necessarily have chosen a complete...
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 take the tax...
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 my...
Hi
I was all due to finish at the end of Feb 2020 to ensure payments were made well in time before new rules on April 6th.
I have been at the same client on and off for 9 years (with some breaks - most being 1 year).
All of my contracts and working practices have been reviewed by QDOS as...
Not sure if people have already seen this latest published HMRC manual.
ESM0117 - Employment Status Manual - HMRC internal manual - GOV.UK
Quoting from Manual:-
Where it is agreed that a worker who has previously been regarded as self-employed should now be treated as employed, then you will...
Newbie to forum but decade in contracting...
I am currently contracted to a UK FTSE 100 that has not decided to go down the blanket determination route. I agreed a contract extension to end-March to ensure I could make my next move decision with as many facts as possible.
All of us PSC...
Hello, need advice on contract.
In a situation where the company is trying to add a clause to be able to claim back any retrospective taxes, if later found inside ir35 by HMRC.
So I am imagining a scenario where
1) company states the contract is outside ir35.
2) HMRC later states its inside...
I operate through a PSC and have been on an outside-IR35 contract with a UK-based recruitment agency for a few years. The client, for the purpose of this contract, is a large consultancy. This consultancy has a number of business clients in the UK, one of them being a large insurance agency. I...
Hi all.
This is my first post and I can see there is generally a lot of information around IR35 on the forums and I have had a good look through. It has been very helpful.
My situation is that I am PAYE at present. As part of the strategy I am working to, becoming a contractor early 2020 is...
If anybody can recommend a company that can provide information on contractor law and IR35 in particular would be great!
In the process of getting my agency to issue me with a new contract when my current one expires. Which as seems to be the norm has been blanket assessed as being inside...
Let's supposed I've been issued with an outside IR35 determination by my client. As far as I'm concerned, this is an accurate determination: it matches my own view and that of Qdos. However, the SDS doesn't meet the standards laid down in the draft legislation, in that it doesn't specify the...
