The forthcoming changes to IR35 in the private sector have been a big topic of conversation for some time. It will undoubtedly remain so in the coming months as employers, agencies, and contractors get ready for the new rules due to come into effect on 6 April 2021.
While HMRC’s main objective is to combat tax avoidance by limited company contractors, the impact of these changes is expected to be far-reaching, from the top of the supply chain down to the bottom.
At our “IR35, Off-Payroll and the Recruitment Supply Chain” webinar, we heard from industry expert Chris James from FCSA, who showed us an easy-to-understand explanation of IR35 and off-payroll reforms, how it will affect the recruitment supply chain, and what the changes mean for employers of contractors who work through a limited company.
