Inside IR35 & I Want to Stay

[jamesbrown]

I am building my arguments as we speak and going through old emails for evidence. Some decent pointers and also some less decent ones. I can also pass a CEST and have saved it but only recently, and it's so subjective. CEST didn't exist when I started the contract in question. So I wouldn't say its blatant, but I wouldn't would I.

This old post covers the liability issue.

I wouldn't overly worry about this.

FWIW, the consensus opinion on transfer of debt, as I understand it, is that the bar is really quite high. However, I'm not a professional working in this area. The best summary I've found comes from Jessica @ Whitefield (no connection):

IR35 and Personal Liability - can HMRC proceed against an individual? - Whitefield Tax Limited - Isle of Wight Accountants - IR35 specialists

It's a little old now, but still accurate, I think.
