Sending your contract to HMRC for 'review' really isn't a good idea. You'll end up getting a horribly biased opinion and, unless you send it anonymously, could end up with a review or enquiry.

I'm sure most of the IR35 specialists (including us!) would conduct a face to face review if required. PM me if you want more details.

Bauer and Cottrell have always talked to me on the phone in addition to giving me a written document.

Probably best not to contact HMRC as suggested above. I would use your own counsel rather than asking HMRC's opinion.

Sorry for being misleading but I was posting my 'HMRC' suggestion with sarcasm intended. Would be good to do it anonymously just out of curiosity though to see what their own take is on it.

I have met contractors who swear by the HMRC IR35 review line.

One of them even got told their contract was outside IR35

Once.....

B&C reviewed mine, sent out the revised copy to the client (direct contract) and followed up both myself and the client, talked us through the changes using both email and telephone calls. All agreed by the client, no problem. Therefore a face to face wasn't necessary. Danny Batey was the guy at B&C.
