Health and Safety (Urgent)

Is it me or do a lot of contractors get hung up on IR35 compliance above all else?

There seems to have been a glut recently of "clientco insists I use their toilet paper, will this put me in breach of IR35?" type questions....

Surely if people are flying that close to the wind with IR35, they should be in rather than out?

This is what happens when poorly drafted legislation is passed into Statute. The glut of questions arises from uncertainty. Human Rights legislation suggests we are entitled to legitimate expectation. IR35 as piece of legislation is not even fit for clientco's toilet paper.

thanks for the replies - I spoke to the managing director who is an ex contractor himslef and he said he wouldn't sign it - they are happy with a letter from my ltd saying we'd he happy to abide with H&S rules there - I appreciate that this wasn't a particularly important point but I was unsure - you live and learn eh ? Thanks for all your help
