    IR35 deductions - breach of contract

    Surely, based on existing standard contracts, the agency will ordinarily be in breach of contract by making these deductions instead of paying gross? Most agency>PSC contracts state a rate, say £500+vat per day, so agency is under a contractual obligation to pay £600 to that PSC, full stop...

    HSBC bans its consultancies from supplying limited company contractors

    IR35 reform: HSBC bans its consultancies from supplying limited company contractors These terms seem to explain why one tax adviser yesterday described the ban as “way beyond what is reasonable.” But another contractor tax expert, James Poyser, went further saying the ban is nothing short of...

    Unsure if IR35 will affect my business

    I've been contracting for over 15 years now, usually with one company at a time. For past year I've reached out and brought in my own work from contacts I know. This work is fixed price work for services, we agree price, they send over a purchase order and I complete work, raise invoice, then...

    From Outside IR35 to umbrella

    Hello all, I am sorry, if this has already been answered before. At the moment I am finishing my contract which is Outside IR35. The client then offered to all of the contractors in the same team extension of the contract but under umbrella rules. How HMRC wise risky this move is? The same...

    Inside IR35 - keeping LTD

    I've been talking to a pal who reckons he's going to be able to use HMRCs deemed payment calcs to continue to run his Ltd post April taking on inside IR35 work and reckons he'll still be getting paid gross via invoices and will do the inside calcs using HMRCs deemed employment rules himself...

    Does Umbrella provide professional indemnity insurance and public liability insurance

    Hi, I have been contracting using my own limited company until now. I have just been offered a new contract and the client decided that all contracts are now inside IR35 (no exceptions) so I'll have to use their partner umbrella company for this engagement. Now the agent is asking me to...

    Can PSC use ir35 revenue on other projects before deeming my salary?

    Say I had a inside ir35 contract (private sector, post April) worth 100k, and I wanted my PSC to use 80k of that received revenue first on a separate project expense (eg paying a dev to make a new app I hoped would be successful) leaving 20k available to pay me as a PAYE salary, with tax and NI...

    Client "no longer using PCSs" vs "role is now inside IR35" - risk of investigation? Hi all Is there a difference in the risk of HMRC IR35 investigation after staying on at a client post Apr 20 (switching to an Umbrella at contract renewal on the 2nd March) between the client saying (end of Jan...

    Outside IR35 to a perm...best timing

    I have been contracting for the same client for 5 years ( different roles and different teams) and my contract ends end of Feb 20. Now all contractors are being moved to a brolly or PAYE contractors. I was offered a perm role instead. Though there will be a drop in take home pay, I am seriously...

    Hi all Appreciate there's a lot of people in a similar boat and a lot of questions around IR35 flying around at the moment, but not sure this specific question has been asked/answered.

    A question of timing - short term contractor needs when / if to leave

    Firstly I'm so glad I found this forum... I started my first Contract role on 1st Nov 2019 for a large pharma company. The contract is through Alexmann and was 'sold' as being outside IR35. I had an assessment on the contract wording done through QDOS who also indicated the same. The...

    New IR35 Online Tool

    HMRC have a new online IR35 Assessment Tool. Has anyone used it? Does not the term "Office Holder" refer to an office of the contracting company (supplier) rather than the client company?

    IR35 - the end of a flexible workforce

    I just can’t believe this is the end of contracting. Most companies will blanket every contractor as inside ir35. So some will accept and some will simply retire or move on. I’m contemplating either to accept PAYE or to start a completely new business. But this is such a shame as I’m good at...

    Yet another Limited inside IR35 vs Umbrella thread

    Hi, As you can see this is my first post, so, sorry if this is not the correct place. First of all, I haven't set up my company yet. I've been offered a job (actually my first job in the UK, I'm an expat) and I can go for PAYE or Limited, but because of April 2020 changes I might be forced to...

    Contract Review - Both legal and IR35

    Hi All, Can anyone recommend a good contract reviewer who covers both legal and IR35 issues? I have a contract that has been sent to me today and the client wants me to start tomorrow. I want to start the contract, but feel it would be insane to do so without getting proper advice first (I...

    ER and the 2 year stand down

    Hi All - I'm currently a ltd company contractor and the client I'm currently at has said they will no longer utilise Ltd co contractors from the end of Feb20 due to IR35 concerns.
