Comensura

Assignment reviewed by Qdos well ahead of start date and contract is structured around deliverables.

Sent to contractors via email: Comensura and Arqiva have teamed up with Qdos, a tax advisory service, to provide a comprehensive case-by-case assessment tool to support the IR35 reform taking place from 6 April 2020. "Qdos’ Status Review management system is an online portal that allows our customers to undertake individual role assessments and workers to complete contract assessments to provide a final determination on the role. Status Review provides a full IR35 compliance service with expert IR35 assessments, a management tool and tax liability insurance cover. The tool reduces the risk of incorrect decisions by having an objective third party expert making the determination." All in all, Arqiva's been a good client to work for. The work has mostly been pretty decent (in my area at least), and they treat people pretty well (although it can be a bureaucratic place at times) . Contractors are leaving, but really because projects are coming to an end and so they're hiring permies who are coming up to speed ready for our departure.

Qdos undertaking assessments which is good, only sting in the tail is that the initial assessment is free, but if you have to be reassessed the contractor foots the bill...
