So I'm not the only one 🙂
Can somebody explain in terms a simpleton can understand how your client hasn't got their IR35 policy arse-backwards? I thought the whole point was to stop sole traders from interposing an incorporated entity between themselves and their customers (and taking profits as dividends and capital gains rather than salary)
As leshaches said, outsourced umbrella described above paying minimum wage plus a separate "commission" looks like exactly the structuring of payments IR35 was supposed to stamp out.
If you're a sole trader, there's no opportunity to structure payments as anything but taxable profits.
