First post here so usual apology in advance for if I've missed an existing similar thread or posted to the wrong place.
End clients often fill roles using contractors who deem themselves outside IR35. I wonder whether those same clients when recruiting for the same role but specifying inside IR35 when recruiting, will be lining up their previous outside IR35 contractors for HMRC investigation.
If the client is using the required diligence to make an inside IR35 determination then why would HMRC not look at that client's historic outside IR35 contracts?
(As a long time contractor exclusively in the private sector and always outside IR35.)
