Originally posted by b0redom View PostI always get my contracts reviewed up front, but in this situation, why don't you just assume you're not caught and put the extra away somewhere safe? The odds are very small that you'll be investigated and caught, and you don't even know if you're inside or out.
Do you have D+C, MOO and RoS in your contract? What are your working practices like? Do they match the contract?
I wouldn't definitely ditch a contract just because it's inside IR35.I couldn't give two fornicators! Yes, really!Comment

Burying your head in the sand will worsen the situation if HMRC investigate and find one inside because you've made no attempt to determine your status and acted with impunity. You'll likely get stiffed for massive penalties.Comment

A couple of contract reviews a year plus IPSE membership and that's £500 spent with no guarantees that you won't ultimately have to pay all your tax anyway. Perhaps it's better to just get on with life.Will work inside IR35. Or for food.Comment

It seems from the reports here and contractors I've met HMRC don't like fighting if you can afford legal representation. (That's because they are fighting against people who use to work for them.)
If you can't that's when you have to cough up."You’re just a bad memory who doesn’t know when to go away" JRComment
