All is not lost though, as we have been dealing with the rules for 5 years in the public sector and 18 months in the private sector and it is clear that it is perfectly possible to comply with the rules and still achieve access to the best talent and a fair and accurate IR35 outcome.
As always, with the right advice, compliance can be achieved and certainty can be gained without risk.
We have been dealing with IR35 (Chapter 8) since 1999 and Off-payroll (Chapter 10) since 2016 – prior to the legislation – and have worked and won hundreds of HMRC IR35 investigations. If you need unbiased professional advice please call us today.
