Hi there,
I work through my own limited company and deal directly with my client who is classified as a small sized company. Due to this client's size, until a few days ago I was under the impression that next April's IR35 change would not affect my tax status.
However, one of their biggest customers, lets call them large companyA, recently contacted my client and all its other suppliers, and asked for the employment status for everyone who does work for them onbehalf on the large company. They also stated that invoices may not be paid if any of the people involved operate via a PSC and are deemed NOT to be caught by IR35. This is me....
I've done a bit of research around this and have found information that implies that the small company get out clause is NOT applicable if the company is within a supply chain and not deemed to be the end client / fee payer.
Does anyone have any thoughts / advice / information about this?
Assuming that this negation of the small company size rule is correct, then I have one futher idea/question :-
My role with my direct client splits into two areas. Development work for new projects that come along for large companyA and also support work at weekends to ensure the smooth running of large companyA's production system. I'm wondering if I could be put onto the payroll for my end client where I'd provide support, but still operate my limited company as outside of IR35 for my development work. I'm wondering if this working arrangement could split the deemed 'end client/fee payer' and thus protect the greater part of my income from IR35.
Yep - I'm probably clutching at straws here, but thanks in advance for any info.
