Hi - Newbie here,
Can anyone help advise please?
I have been offered a contracting job by a Council local authority.
The role is very similar to my current job, but the hourly rate is less then what I am currently on.
However, the agent has said the new employer will accept my role is outside IR35, meaning I will effectively have a pay-rise. They have provided me with a spreadsheet with all the calculations demonstrating this.
My question/concern is how reliable is this, can I trust that the judgement that the new Council is not made on IR35 status will not be challenged by HMRC? Who would HMRC challenge - the Council or me? And in a worst case scenario who would end up paying money back to the tax-office?
Any advice much appreciated.
