I’d appreciate if you could answer a quick question relating to IR 35, as I’m a somewhat awkward position with a client I do approximately 2 days a week for who are based on Switzerland.
We are working on various things with the idea that I’ll be working on different projects throughout the year. This is a continuation and extension of project work that was done last year.
My contact there, who I work with, send me a draft contract and SOW at Christmas, which was already late. At the end of January she apologised profusely for not sending it back up the chain and completing some parts of it. I said, as long as it’s there in a few weeks it should be fine. She said a few days.
March came and I asked her what was up and she said it was still sitting with her boss.
Obviously it’s not ideal to be working outside of contract, despite the high level of trust we have for each other and the question is.
Is there a major issue if I don’t have a signed SOW showing it’s a project based relationship before IR 35 comes in in April? How hard should I push them based on that factor.
