IR35
In April 2021 new IR35 legislation was rolled out across the private sector. The main provision of IR35 is for the purposes of ensuring that contractors pay the right amount of tax, by defining if a person is a genuine contractor rather than a ‘disguised’ employee.
The key IR35 change after the 6th of April 2021 is that it will now be the responsibility of the client rather than the contractor to define the person's IR35 status. After this date, the client will be liable for any penalties incurred for incorrectly defining a contractor's status.
Working in partnership with you, we identify different options that you can take (e.g., should certain workers be classified as In or Out), provide compliant solutions and pinpoint areas to become cost-effective in the wake of the change.
With a process focussed on assessment, definition and engagement, we can thoroughly review all work processes to provide a clear path of recommendations from the inside and outside.
We’ll be looking at key elements of IR35 and specific changes you should know about, as well as how it impacts contractors within key industries across the UK and abroad.
