New client - Promised contract outside IR35

[Kesteral]

Hi,

I've just received a contract from a new client (via an agency) for 6 months (likely to be extended)

One of the things that drew me to the role is that the agency said the contract would be outside IR35.

I've read through the contract and it seems good regarding it being outisde IR35 (to be double checked by my accountant, QDOS) but I was wondering if I should be getting something from the agency in writing saying they will not reassess my status and perhaps some confirmation of them saying the contract is outside IR35?

What are peoples thoughts? Is the contract itself enough?

Kind Regards

Dave

I didn't ask the client directly as I've only had one interview with them which only covered my experience/suitability for the role, but they are a very reputable client in the industry I work in (financial services)

What the agents says is worthless

Ask them whe the client will be making a determination on roles. I expect they will give you bluff and bluster just to sign this gig knowing full well you are going inside.

In fact, if it's six months it will cross April so should already have a determination. Push them harder for an explanation. Many agents are pretty up to speed so they should know what you need.
