It is looking likely that my contract may be stretching into a third year. Just wondering what precautions would you recommend? (IR35 wise) So far I have:
- QDOS approved contract and working practices (no notice in the contract, can substitute myself etc all the right tickboxes are ticked)
- Client accepts that I can send in a substitute or get somebody else to do the work if I wish.
- I have had 2 reviews with QDOS to date.
- There are no fixed hours, this is not a 9-5. Also no requirement to work from somewhere (fully remote). There is nobody overseeing what I am doing but as with the nature of software development there are code reviews..
At what point does a contract starts looking suspecious to the taxman? Is it really that odd to have the same client for a long time?
