    I still think you'll be surprised. Those that don't have a clue what IR35 is or just don't care won't understand the retrospective aspect either.

      Why I said I may stay, is because if they force everyone to go umbrella, then this takes IR35 out of the equation. .
      wont switching to an umbrella because of ir35 whilst staying with the same client leave you wide open to a retrospective tax attack?

        Matters not. I’m outside now, and happy to fight the case. The problem is more if the client is lazy and blanket assesses everyone inside. Then gives HMRC more ammunition.

        How does the HMRC know who you are with anyway? It’s only if they investigate you.

          Looking at the news that Glaxo contractors are being targeted it looks like they will go for a client and everyone there. Or use the old method of having a gander when something flags like problem with your returns etc.

            I thought there was some requirement on agencies to report who is on their books and what they've paid them? Maybe someone in HMRC has started looking at the data...

            EDIT: this is what I'm thinking of
            Submit an employment intermediary report - GOV.UK

              Agencies reort everyone paid off payroll. So should anyone paying people off payroll (though compliance is varied for those direct).

              They report individual (Name, address, NINO or Gender + DOB), PSC, value & payment vehicle.

              I don't believe we report the end client (though I'd have to check) so the question for me is where they got that part of the puzzle (unless they're direct).

                For those inside there's no appetite for inside IR35 via PSC from what I've seen. It'll be PAYE direct or Umbrella (likely the latter).

                  Move to umbrella I expect or via Agencies and then either direct or via umbrella. There's no appetite for clients to start payrolling that I've seen.
