IR35 again

[CoolCat]

Agent giving me very dodgy advice on IR35

and end client being very anal in their extreme interpretation of the rules

*** letting off steam by posting here ***

Thank you.

My favourite bit of bad advice is "opting in is an IR35 red flag"

[CoolCat]

The rules are clearly nonsense.

Client claiming to be the employer and wanting to keep their interpretation of employers NI liability.

But want MyCo to fund liability insurance and all the other stuff.

And with no idea of the business running expenses.

Or indeed any salary sacrifice pension contributions which should reduce employers NI significantly.

Seems under IR35 you get the worst of all worlds, and end up paying more tax than a proper perm member of staff would, but none of the perks of sick pay etc.

Only in idiot politician land would this made sense.

Excellent - now negotiate the permie rate or the FTC with them and get them to pay for all those things that employees get. Or walk away from it.

[ladymuck]

Walk away. That's a dodgy sounding deal

Any chance you can let off steam in General?

Any chance you can let off steam in General? Not allowed to call you a tedious ***kwit in here.

Who took the milk out of your cornflakes today?

CoolCat walk away from that - sounds a nightmare.
