IR35

Making sure correctly treated

Didn't find your answer?

Hi everyone

Ive recently been working in IT as a contractor.

I am completing my corporation tax return and I needed to establish whether IR35 rules applied.

Using my agreement I have completed the HMRC/Gov checker and entered the following facts about my agreement:

- a substitute would be acceptable if I was ill

- I incur expenses in my own right prior to being reimbursed

- I am able to dictate where the work takes place 

The checker has come back as outside the scope of IR35, and it states that this will be taken as red.

Under these circumstances have I acted correctly in establishing the result?

Goes without saying, but my answers to the checker were honest and not designed to fabricate a desired result!

thanks in advance

Genuine substitution? Ever happened?

Regardless of whether it has ever happened, it’s genuinely still part of the question criteria isn’t it?

Has your accountant provided any advice or thoughts on this?

"Under these circumstances."

Under what circumstances? I honestly don't know what you are asking, sorry.

Its not just about checking the HMRC status - you should get your contracts professionally reviewed.
