"why ride a vespa when you can push a lambretta?"
As I look ahead, I am filled with foreboding; like the Roman, I seem to see "the River Tiber foaming with much blood." -

I might be missing something, but - in reference to historical investigation risk - the April 2020 determination only really matters if you believe you are within IR35 anyway. If you have taken steps to be out of IR35 then you should be able to prove this in any HMRC investigation.
If you are clearly outside IR35 but then determined in April by the client as inside, then realistically there isn't anything you can do. The historical risk might mean you get investigated, but like I said, if you know you are IR35-clear then you can prove it.
The problem for me is not HMRC (though yes they are always a problem for everyone). The real problem are the clients. Clients have no interest in the reality of your working situation - they care only to avoid the hassle of dealing with HMRC and so will take the path of least resistance.Comment

In short, unable to advise if better to leave vs staying. Quoting that the Gov have stated they won't do retro reviews.
Pretty much it.Comment

Originally posted by CompoundOverload View PostI had a response pending and actually received it this morning, pretty generic response to be honest and on the similar lines of what most people have been posting on here.
