Helping an IT contractor stay IR35-compliant and keep more take-home
An IT contractor was worried about IR35 after a contract review. We assessed their status, restructured their company and optimised their salary and dividend split.
Results
- Confirmed outside-IR35 status with documented evidence
- Optimised salary and dividend split for tax efficiency
- Quarterly check-ins to stay compliant as contracts change
The challenge
After a client-side contract review, the contractor was unsure whether their engagement fell inside or outside IR35, and whether a limited company was still the right structure.
What we did
We carried out a full IR35 status assessment, reviewed the working practices and contract, and documented the evidence supporting an outside-IR35 determination. We then optimised the salary and dividend split for the new tax year.
The result
The contractor now has a clear, documented IR35 position and an efficient pay structure, with quarterly check-ins so their status stays current as contracts change.
