Hi,
I'm currently in a position where I have been with the same client for the past last 3 years working on a project. Contract has been reviewed by a tax specialist and deemed outside, client has agreed to RoS in writing(although never needed to exercise this).
Client has advised all contractors they are reviewing individual roles and will be making determinations based on these with a view to April's off-payroll legislation. These will be communicated well in advance of the new year's date - I believe these will be completed before December.
I'm in the last knockings of my contract and have another role lined up. However, I'm concerned that if the client determines this role as inside and advises me of this before i leave this would potentially cause back dated tax issues (although I am acting on the basis that I am outside). Does it matter if I am there or not before determinations are made, or is the risk more an issue if I am still there and the decision is made or does it lessen the risk if I have left before they have communicated it?
In addition to the above and to ensure that the new contract is bullet proof, I'll again get contract reviewed by a 3rd party tax specialist and request that the client confirms post April the role remains outside of IR35. I'll be unable to get working practices reviewed as I've not yet started the role.
Is there anything else I can do to ensure the new role is water tight?
