Hi,
I recently had a contract reviewed which fell inside IR35. Was advised what changes could be made but there's still no guarantee as working conditions are not taken in to consideration of contract if reviewed.
Anyhow, had a meeting with my account and he advised that if I wanted to continue the contract inside IR35, then there's very little benefit using a Ltd Co and to go the Umbrella route. The Umbrella will obviously charge for their service which I guess is comparable to account fee's, insurance, etc.
If I decide to take the contract inside IR35 there's obviously no tax benefits going Umbrella - but are there any benefits using a Ltd Co. Just wondering why he suggested using Umbrella and didn't seem interested if it fell inside IR35.
He suggested getting the contract to fall outside IR35 and HOPEFULLY it'll be okay - then pay myself the "tax affective way". The word "hopefully" doesn't reassure me. I was informed that my line of work will never clearly fall outside IR35 so there's always a risk. Aaarrrggghhh !!!
Very very nervous newbie.
