Shorter than a year suits me. My goal with contracting is to have time off between contracts to have more energy and time to bootstrap some business ideas. It is a shame this legislation passed, I understand the concern about hidden employees/tax dodging but it seems they overshot a bit.
- OJFord 3y agoI think GP meant not noticed any such listings in the last 12 months, not that they were advertising a post with a duration less than a year.
- YourDadVPN 3y agoI didn't think he was advertising, but I did misinterpret it as him saying only shorter term contracts were available outside IR35.
- OJFord 3y agoHa, sorry, 'they' there meant the listings, not GP. Isn't English wonderful.
- dogma1138 3y agoYou aren’t getting outside of IR35 contracts in tech anymore even short fixed term ones (as short as 1-2 months), especially with any company that can afford to pay rates that make it worth while. If HMRC catches you in violation of IR35 they can open the book and inspect any contracts over the past 10 years and retroactively penalize you. And by you I mean the “employer” in this case as in the company that hired you under contract. No one is taking the risk today.
