Basically you're just agreeing with my first point that the low risk approach is for HR to tell all agencies contractors are inside IR35. We simply got into a pointless discussion on SDS's which clearly aren't required if you have no contractors outside IR35, simply because it is standard practice to use umbrella contracts, which was my original assumption.Last edited by BlasterBates; 30 December 2020, 09:30.I'm alright JackComment

Talking about IR35 adds whole layers of complexity and risk (which my new business would love to help you mitigate) but it's just not necessary - just issue a blanket ban from on high regarding no PSC and and leave everyone else to work out how to sort it.merely at clientco for the entertainmentComment

Major brands shut shop on limited company contractors, not just for Christmas
A spokesman for GlaxoSmithKline (GSK): to ensure we are compliant with the new IR35 legislation, we have decided to engage agency workers on a PAYE-only basis from 2020 onwards.I'm alright JackComment

Reminds me of a thread I was very active in this time last year. Similar thing, PSC ban, PAYE or Umbrella only etc etc.
Ultimately.. same agency, same NI number is submitted to HMRC (yours) but this time via an Umbrella/PAYE as opposed to PSC. As a result, higher NI (or generally you will start to pay NI) for the same role you were doing previously via your PSC. Its a risk and fairly easy to be seen. This wasn't a risk I could sleep with, so I walked from a good contract I was happy with in Feb 2020, then in March the legislation got canned, blanket ban still in-place, caused a lot of upset. I then took a new contract elsewhere in April 2020 (outside via my PSC), not a great contract tbh, but its outside and its gotten me through Covid. Expecting the same conversations to be happening with this contract in the coming weeks and I'll likely have to walk again.
Then I consider... do I just suck it up and take a new gig via Umbrella. Entertain the possibility of being a drone (employee) to an organisation, re-emigrate or seriously look at starting something new, i.e. a takeaway or mobile-based business. I think anyone operating "outside" from April 2021 onwards will be on HMRCs radar like never before.Leave: "To remove oneself from association with or participation in"Comment
