IR35
IR35 (also known as the “off-payroll working rules”) is a set of regulations that are intended to make sure that employment taxes are paid where a consultant provides their services via an intermediary (usually their own personal services company) and is considered, for tax purposes, to be an employee of the end user business. Our employment law team have considerable experience in advising on IR35.
If you engage a consultant or currently provide your services as a consultant through an intermediary (such as your own personal services company), our clear advice is to act now to assess your engagements to see whether you fall within the rules.
For end user businesses, B P Collins can provide an onsite audit of your arrangements and give you a view as to whether an engagement falls within the rules and whether your agreement with your consultants should be restructured. Failure to do this could result in substantial tax liabilities and penalties for consultants and this liability could extend to the end user business.
If you are unsure about making a CEST Application or are considering a CEST Outcome and need an expert opinion, B P Collins can help.
