Hi all - long time lurker here forced into signing up to ask you (very helpful) guys a question.
Basically I'm at a client that has been off the ball on IR35 planning. Hardly any updates throughout the past 6 months so towards the end of last year I decided to leave contracting for now and go back to permie land for a couple of years at least. All good there - new job sorted, due to start in early April. Very happy.
My role was deemed unnecessary for next year anyway and so they are not renewing any of the contractors in my team. Offboarding as a contractor sorted here for mid-March, final payment coming in this side of the FY switch.
Then, today, I've just received a determination statement (alongside the other contractors who are renewing) that declares me inside (and they're using this years contracts to do this in preparation for next year). I disagree with this - my working practices are outside, contract QDOS assessed as outside etc.. I've immediately replied asking what the basis for them doing so is, I disagree with the determination and if it can't be "retracted" as made in error then I want to appeal it (fully aware that this would potentially not be actioned until after my last day here in 5 weeks or so).
What can/should I do to mitigate any impact of this? Thanks in advance.
TL;DR - I finish at my client in 5 weeks and going permie elsewhere. They've sent me an unsolicited inside-IR35 determination that I disagree with. What impact is this going to have and what can I do?
