| Judgement
was handed down on Friday 28/03/03 in the much-vaunted
IR35 High Court case of Synaptek v IR, also known
as the
Stutchbury case. The Court found in favour of the
Revenue, confirming the original ruling that IR35
did apply to the arrangements between Mr Stutchbury
and his end client, EDS. |

Solutions for Contractors |
|
We
have been following IR35 since March 1999 and advising contractors,
accountants and agencies on the impact. We have developed effective
solutions to enable contractors to operate their limited company legitimately,
without being subject to PAYE and extra NI. |
|
In
many cases IR35 may be avoided by operating as an independent business
using a well-drafted contract accurately reflecting the terms of the
engagement. The Inland Revenue has made it quite clear that any status
decision they make will take into consideration the contracting company's
working practices, and our services are designed to provide the correct
solution. |
|
Using
our extensive legal experience in the IT and recruitment industries
we are able to offer various products and services to assist contractors
in establishing their self-employed status. |

Preliminary Discussion |
|
| For
a minimum outlay, we can discuss whether the nature of your work
is capable of operating outside of IR35. This is used to determine
whether your engagement is a 'relevant engagement' within the definition
of the IR35 legislation. |

Status Review |
|
Fast,
accurate formal legal analysis of a current or future contract to
give an independent view on whether it will pass or fail IR35
tests.
If the agency/client will allow you to change your contract following
our recommendations, we are able to redraft and negotiate
these changes
on your behalf for an additional charge. 'Pass' contracts may be
eligible for IR35 Tax-Safe Insurance from Abbey Tax Protection. |
