I was just sent over a set of questions from the risk soaking company that has been artifically inserted into my chain of contracting on IR35 determination.
Chain is: Me - MyCo - RiskSoakCo - BigConsultCo - Client
Really disappointed with the kinds of questions they're asking - whether I have a business bank account for instance (along with a website/self-promote platform, business premises).
From using variations of the tool before I expect the most heavily weighted question is the one about having 'arranged a substitute to carry out work in my absence' and then paying them via myCo.
I'd heard of some contractors making up some guff £1 each way invoice system, where they make it look like some kind of sub agreement, but I've also heard that this is meaningless.
I personally know enough people in my field that I would be able to find 'someone' at short notice to come and do 'some' of the work I'm in doing and I'm also familiar enough with several pimps to be able to do the same on a wider scale with a longer lead-in.
Does anyone use any more official or formal agreements and arrangements than this? Again, anything I do here feels like it's mostly IR35 theatre.
