Hi,
I'm currently contracting at a client and it's looking likely they will need further contract resource for 3-6 months in the same portfolio as I'm working due to business pressures and priorities changing (technical business analysis). I'm thinking of suggesting to them that my LTD company provide a 2nd contractor through the existing terms of business currently established within the recruitment agency so effectively the relationship is client - rec agency - my ltd - 2nd contractor, I can get a 2nd contractor onsite immediately who can fill this role.
I was wondering if aside from the financial benefits of doing this, if anybody had any views on if this would be seen positively in the event of an future IR35 investigation? (I believe my current LTD contract and working practices are outside - but I'm sure my opinion and assessment will count little if facing HMRC)
And aside from needing to source some legal docs for the sub contracting whether you foresaw any issues in doing this?
Thanks
