Skilled Worker + ir35 question

[svskilledworker]

Hi everyone,

It's been a puzzle for me and I just want to get opinions.

I am on Tier2 Skilled Worker, sponsored by my partner's limited company. I work based on invoices. The company gets paid from the clients and then the company pays me salary. The project I am about to take falls inside ir35 which will pay into my partner's company. I am wondering if this would be a rule breach at all. My understanding is that in HMRC eyes, ir35 means I will be a temporary employee for another company, as they will be managing my tax and NI during the project.

Anybody has had the same situation before, please do give opinions!

Thank you

From your description it seems that you are self-employed and have a contract with your sponsor company that sets out the details of your job, how much you will be paid, etc.

IR35 means that HMRC will treat you as an employee for tax purposes, be it by your sponsor company or the company for which your sponsor company undertakes the assignment.

IMO this has no impact on your immigration status as a Skilled Worker as long as your sponsor company maintains full responsibility for your activities and generally continues to perform their sponsor duties.
