Under T2 rules you can only be employed by the end client direct, you cannot work via an intermediary. Lots of dodgy companies do do it, but they are being jumped on and hit with hefty fines.Comment

Everything we do is for an end-client, I just wonder where the limit is with regards to her on-site involvement. It's not relevant as we generally do everything from our own offices, but she is doing some work for me which we're billing on a daily rate basis at the moment. Maybe it's OK, because even if I sent her on client site for a month, she's still employed by me, and whether we bill her out at £200 or £500pd, her salary remains the same.
Edit: I found the answer - the sponsor (i.e. MyCo Ltd) must be the company that determines the duties for the migrant worker. So contracting out to client site is legal, but I must be the one who determines her duties. Realistically, that may well work for me, as I have a more established business with processes, etc, but not for the OP - and in any case, the OP would have to payroll his chum.Last edited by GillsMan; 10 March 2016, 10:36.Comment
