    Contract Killer - IR35 caught or not?

    If I was a paid assassin, would I still be caught by IR35 if I only had one client?

    Also rate negotiation: If your client paid £30K to kill someone, and you went to them, and they in turn offered £40K to NOT kill them, could you negotiate a higher rate from the client?

        Do you have a right of substitution? Does the client direct how you carry out the work. As it is based on a deliverable and you would be using your own equipement I presume - I think you'd be ok.

        On the other hand your second para shows a distinct lack of professionalism. You should take the 40k, kill em and then take the 30k from the original client (mayne kill them as well just to be on the safe side)

            Clearly you are not an assassin in your own right, merely a disguised murderer. Tax please!

                If you are caught & do time you can claim that you are paying for mistakes by yourself during the contract, therefore outside IR35.

                  I wouldn't pay any tax at all. Shoot anybody from HMRC.

                    That would depend. Does the client insist on telling you when to do the job and provide you with the equipment. Does the client tell you how to kill someone.

                    Can you send a sub to do the job.

                    On the other hand would you tell an assasin that you want half his earnings!
