director does the work, his sole company A supplies to Company B in which he has a minority shareholding. Company B is large with employees and other directorsOriginally posted by LisaContractorUmbrella View PostCould you provide a little bit more information pls? It sounds as though you have 2 one man Ltd Co's one of which provides your services to the other. If that's the case then yes you could be caught by IR35Comment

He may be if he fails all of the usual three tests for employment. Otherwise it's no different to any other contract. I'll give good odds there's contractors working for Lloyds that have Lloyds' shares...Originally posted by LisaContractorUmbrella View PostMy feeling is that yes you could be caught but I'd be interested to see what others thinkBlog?

Agreed. Just working somewhere doesn't mean you're inside IR35, we'd need to know more about what you do in order to make any type of informed judgement.Originally posted by malvolio View PostHe may be if he fails all of the usual three tests for employment.
