Contracting within IR35

[LisaContractorUmbrella]

Playing devil's advocate I would say that's not necessarily so.

Definitely an IR35 target yes, but it's the working practices that finally determine IR35 status.

Also HMRC are not going to discover the ex-employer relationship until they ask to see the contract(s), which AIUI can only be done once an IR35 enquiry is instigated. With decent legal representation (e.g. PCG+) so that you won't get tripped up dealing with HMRC directly, then I think it has the potential to go either way.

Anyway I think the advice should be to stay as permie (perhaps under new contract terms) unless the OP can negotiate radically different working conditions, such as: WFH, decide your own hours, no "line manager", clearly defined deliverable(s).

Absolutely is necessarily so, I don't care what your relationship is with the devil! There is no way an integrated, permanent member of staff can transform to an outside IR35 contractor between Friday and Monday - you couldn't get a more clear cut example of deemed employment

Oops! Seem to have caused a bit of a stir in here

Anyway, after the day I had at work today, all offers are off the table, and I'll be out of there at the first opportunity (which is likely to be very soon).

Never mind - it happens to us all.

C'mon, dish the dirty!
