IR35 Cold Call

[KinooOrKinog]

I just had a call this morning from an agency, first of all offering me their accountancy solution for £60 for the first year (yes, year!), then promising me 90% take home pay. No idea how they were going to achieve it, cba listening that long.

Which is a shame because I always thought they were one of the more reputable ones but they've lost credibility now imo.

In the late noughties, one of the biggest ones R*** was directing people into schemes. I know of a couple of first-time contractors and foreign workers who ended up in the shyte as a result. They assumed it must be ok if an agency like R*** was recommending it.

Seems like this outfit was acquired by its management in October last year.

If the report of them offering 90% take home is correct (and I have no independent confirmation of that) then this may have something to do with it?

Getting 90% take home in the present environment is

a. unlikely without some tax planning

b. Almost certainly going to draw the attention of HMRC

For all I know they have solved these issues.

Never heard of them.

And there’s me thinking that the 90% take home ruse was too obvious and old hat these days..

There is a whole new market of a million or so new people to target. It only takes 0.1-0.2% of them to have a very decent return.

They're fairly well known Oracle apps specialists but if it's not your field you probably wouldn't have.
