Your written contract is the starting point for ascertaining your IR35 status. Whilst the majority of engagements are provided a contract, not every client or agency however will offer one, or if you are just starting out as a contractor, you may simply be interested in what to expect.
The below model contracts have been provided to you as a free resource with your IR35 compliance in mind. These contracts were last updated on 17/03/2023. They are for demonstrative purposes and should be amended to reflect your true circumstances where necessary. Your working practices should reflect the written terms of the contract to hold up in an investigation.
