So just now a colleague in the US looked me up in Slack while screensharing, and I noticed that for my end client's US office I'm tagged as "EU Contractor inside IR35". I guess that's wrong on two counts, EU and IR35 It's the IR35 bit that I wanted to question. As a result of the deferral until 2021 I'm outside, so it's factually inaccurate. Setting that aside, should I be concerned that the end client feels it's necessary to identify people in this way? Interested to hear people's thoughts. Thanks.

If you're marking yourself outside of IR35 I would definitely be concerned.

Yes, you should be worried in the sense that the client will be questioned by HMRC under investigation so, if they see you as a permie, you'd struggle to convince HMRC (or a tribunal) otherwise, absent some excellent record keeping on your part that showed the reality as being very different.Comment

I had a similar discussion today about how to categorise contractors. Contractors in my business mean companies taking on sheet piling, catering or cleaning. 68 emails later I am no nearer a resolution with a particularly difficult client.Former IPSE member

Well, no. As a result of the deferral, you continue to be responsible for your own determination and the consequences of it. Whether that means you are inside or outside is a very different question.Comment
