    It sounds like it is safer to accept an extension only to the end of February with the final payment due end of March.
    And lose a months money

      Could you bill up-front for March work in the Feb invoice? Is it not an option if you're friendly with key staff? That'll be paid in 30 days so won't be a problem.

        It's not all about the money

        After all, I was expecting to be out of contract at the end of this month and not immediately looking.

          I doubt it would be acceptable to them but I'll ask the question.

            Can anyone provide links to back up the statements that any payments made after April 5th from invoices submitted before that will come under the new rules?

            I’ve looked but all I can find are discussions on forums like this.

            Thanks

              Prepare for changes to the off-payroll working rules (IR35) - GOV.UK

                You need to sort this out with the agency. Have you asked them about this? Most agencies are paying before the 5th to get around it. It happened in the public sector and at least one agent on here said they will do the same.

                I'd they refuse ask them how they will treat the payment at the end of April. Will they just pay you it as normal? If they are I'd personally just treat it like normal. It's utterly ridiculous they can tax you.insjde for a gig that the new legislation never touched. If it finished before the 5th and they will give you the money as they normally do I'd just carry one as normal.

                  I will speak to the agency, but wanted a consensus of opinion first.

                  Gov.uk guidance states "If you do not receive a status determination from the client you, as the intermediary, should determine whether the off-payroll working rules apply."

                  My client has already said they don't intend to issue a status determination for my role as it won't exist beyond 31/03/2020.

                  This suggests they and my agency would make payment as normal and I, as representative of the "the intermediary", would determine whether to apply IR35 or not for that final payment. As I had already determined the engagement to be outside IR35 I would treat the final payment in the same way.

                  Of course, if they do unilaterally issue a status determination, that would cause a complication.

                    Just make sure you document everything, especially your evidence for your outside determination

                      How long have you been there? Is an extra month's income worth the risk? It depends on what you are risking. If you've been there two years you don't want all that dragged into IR35 just to get another month or two of income. If you've been there three months, the risk is a lot less.
