Originally posted by JohntheBike View PostFirst and foremost, my services are supplied to the end client exclusively from the offices of MyCo. I do not attend at either the offices of the consultancy nor the client. However, there is clearly an issue with how some individuals perform their duties. I can't say I understand the finer legal points, but in effect the consultancy is saying that some assessments will be made by QDOS for the consultancy and some for the client. But if you read my post about umbrellas, the consultancy is saying that the "assessments" will not constitute an SDS. I really can't see how they can claim that. But I guess it's a ploy to avoid any employment claims for anyone assessed as inside IR35.Comment

Status determinations made prior to 6 April 2020 can be a valid SDS for engagements carrying on after 6 April 2020 providing they meet the legislative requirements. The SDS must include the reason for reaching the conclusion and have been passed to the worker and any third party the client contracts with.
- state in the SDS whether or not the worker would be an employee or office holder, or is an office holder, for tax and NICs purposes if they were directly engaged by the client.
- provide their reasons for coming to that conclusion.
- have taken reasonable care in coming to their conclusion

Originally posted by northernladuk View PostI didn't think it had any legs until it kicks in in April so doesn't matter what you call it right now, assessment or SDS, but either way it's all the information you need to know about your engagement after April?
- As above, you can't challenge the assessment (as you are legally allowed to do post-April - not that it will make any difference)
- As an assessment is not an SDS so I can't see it holding as much power in the hands of IR35. eg, Whilst clients have to take reasonable care to create an SDS, is there such a stipulation for an assessment?
Interestingly, the gov.uk page states:
A status determination statement issued before 6 April 2020 is valid under the new rules, if it contains the reasons for the conclusion reached. If the working practices of the engagement change or you negotiate a new contract with the worker, you need to make sure that you re-check the rules to see if they still apply.Last edited by Paralytic; 7 February 2020, 17:29.Comment
