Originally posted by cojak View PostYes, I agree with this. And so if he knows his working practices are different that's fine and dandy, and explained in the original post.
However, I am still hearing that unless I want a potential investigation (which I obviously don't), I shouldn't take a contract with the same client for a role that may be lazily judged within IR35 (and the company, as per most billion pound companies I've been at, are very lazy).
Or there's the opinion that it's not worth HMRC going back to investigate previous contracts, as it's going to take a lot of effort, and they'll just fix it going forward.Comment

So, judging from the above, is the below position correct:
I'm probably best not to stay for a 3 month contract for a role that may or may not go past April, with a Client that hasn't decided yet (and probably won't until very late) whether the role will be inside or outside IR35. Either way, even if the role does not go past April and I have taken it, an inside IR35 determination on that role could signal that every contract I have had at that current client, for the past 17 months, could also be classed as inside (even though those specific contract roles have lapsed).Comment
