  3. Assuming it's licensed through MTI, they'd be a good first post of call. in more general the offer 'digital backdrops' for a number of shows now, but are likely to be able to give you a steer on this.
  4. @paulears There's undoubtedly truth in many of the points you make however... HMRC commit to standing by the results of that test if answered as accurately as you are able, the test is (at your choice) anonymous or tied to an individual, so you only need to record the result when it shows the 'correct' determination, and the test itself will either give categoric answers, or simply tell you that it's unable to determine. The only actual risk is in not carrying it out, and it biting you down the line. As you say, it is for instances where you are the employer (or could appear so), so you wouldn't run the tool if you got kit and staff from Orbital, nor would you if you contracted a smaller company in the situation you outlined above. Where it is relevant is if I book 'Steve' for a month's work, and I know that he's going to invoice for that work through a Ltd Co. I would be filling it in for my company's protection. The rules have been introduced solely because of the feeling the HMRC were losing out on tax income due to the structure of Ltd Co and payment of dividends etc. I understand that you don't agree with it, but I'm not sure that that's relevant. I posted it because some people may not be aware of it, and I think people should be so that they can avoid assuming liabilities that they would have had no cause to expect.
  5. Another thing that you need to be aware of, is that since the IR35 rules came into force if you engage anybody who will carry out work for you who is set up as a Limited Company (rather than sole trader), you must carry out (and record) a CEST assessment, link below. Not doing so could theoretically leave you liable for tax payments. The assessment isn't onerous, I engage many freelancers a year (as well as many employees), around 20% of whom operate as Limited Companies. It's not as straightforward as whether they only carry out work for you any more. Once you complete the form and get a determination, just save it somewhere, and HMRC will be bound by it should there be a question over it down the line at any point. Despite the mention of contracts, we've been advised that any booking or verbal agreement to carry out services could be construed as a contract. CEST tool
  6. I might be misunderstanding what you're after (ie if you're looking for design info), but you could lift a list of the settings at the top of each scene from the script here...
  7. Notwithstanding all of the above, it's handy to be able to see their (LAs) guidance too for context... https://www.gov.uk/g...cal-authorities
