Contract review
We will review your agency 'contract for service' and, if you have a copy, the contract between your agency and client. If you are working directly with your client, we can review that contract. We will advise you whether the contract supports your status in falling outside IR35 or whether it indicates that you may fall inside IR35. We will provide you with a full written opinion, highlighting the key clauses relating to IR35 status, and provide you with an in-depth guide.
Working practices review
We will review your working practices by gathering information on how you interact with your client on a daily basis. We will advise you, based on the information you provide, whether you are working consistently outside IR35 or whether there is potential that you may not be. We will make you aware of any IR35 risks and, where appropriate, be on hand to provide you with practical advice.
So what does each level of service provide?
12 months' assignments: contract review and working practices review
In respect of all your assignments in a one year period, the gold service provides unlimited reviews of your agency 'contract for service' and, if you have a copy, the contract between your agency and client. We will also review your contract if you are working directly with your client. We will provide you with a full written opinion, highlighting the key clauses relating to IR35 status, and provide you with an in-depth guide. We will also review your working practices. You will need to complete our questionnaire, which is designed to help us gather information on how you interact with your client on a daily basis. We will provide you with a written opinion highlighting the strengths and weaknesses/further comments on your working practices and provide you with an overall written opinion based on both the contract and working practices.
One assignment: contract review and working practices review
In respect of one assignment, the silver service provides a contract review, as per the Gold service above, along with a review on your working practices. You will need to complete our questionnaire, which is designed to help us gather information on how you interact with your client on a daily basis. We will provide you with a written opinion highlighting the strengths and weaknesses/further comments on your working practices and provide you with an overall written opinion based on both the contract and working practices.
One assignment: contract review only
In respect of one assignment, the bronze service provides a review of your agency 'contract for service' and, if you have a copy, the contract between your agency and client. We will also review your contract if you are working directly with your client. We will provide you with a full written opinion, highlighting the key clauses relating to IR35 status, and provide you with an in-depth guide. Although we provide a contract-only review service, please be aware that if you are subject to an IR35 enquiry, HMRC can look past the terms of the contract(s) to consider 'what went on in reality' - referring to your working practices. Your actual working practices can take precedence over the contract(s) wording when determining IR35 status and we therefore recommend that you also have a review on your working practices. Any changes that you make to your contract(s) following our advice should accurately reflect how you work in practice.
