I typically work on-site paid at a daily rate. However, I have the chance of working with a new client, so due to the impending April 2020 changes, I'm thinking of working off-site and with project based pricing. Will this avoid IR35 and PSC changes coming in April 2020?

Off-site Project Work and IR35

Where you do the work doesn't mean anything if the client is breathing down your neck day in, day out checking up on you. -
Will the switch from daily rate billing to a per project price help? I would imagine so as most SEO agencies I work with do the same and aren't even aware of IR35.Comment

Where you work and how you invoice / get paid means nothing if the day to day working practises are akin to employment.Comment

This is how my client works with several other companies and there has never been an IR35 discussion.Comment

If you are off-site, it is easier to argue that you aren't under Supervision, Direction, Control.
If you are being paid a fixed amount per project, no matter how long it takes, that is definitely an argument against IR35. Generally employees are not paid in this way and so it is a pointer to self-employment/outside IR35.Comment

Indeed. This is, in fact, one of the only examples given during the public sector change that was deemed outside. It was the lady delivering to the hospital example if anyone remembers it.merely at clientco for the entertainmentComment
