I started contracting last year and had my contract checked for IR35 and it's considered outside.
However I stupidly joined the staff gym a couple of months ago and have been using the staff canteen.
I guess after so many years of being in a permie role I didn't think about IR35.
I think I'm going to be able to answer my own question here. Is it too late to cancel this gym membership and stop using the canteen to avoid this causing trouble further down the line?
I'm guessing it wouldn't go down too well in an IR35 investigation if I said - 'Well I started using the gym but then I realised I wasn't really an employee so cancelled.'
