    QDOS review leaning towards 'inside' - suggested changes to make 'outside'

    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...

    New to Public Sector Unbrella Contract

    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...

    IR35 Discretionary Bonus

    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...

    Agency restriction clause obstacle with transitioning from outside to inside IR35

    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...

    Is a SDS required for a role / contractor working via Umbrella (beyond April)?

    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...

    Going inside

    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...

    Client lied on CEST to get 'Inside' determination

    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...

    Outside ir35 but HMRC tax liability clause added to contract

    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...

    Outside IR35 SDS is Invalid - Do I Care?

    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...
