IR35 – Understanding and Preparing for the Changes
IR35 was introduced by the Government to counter perceived tax avoidance where individuals were providing their services through an intermediary, such as a personal service company.
25 February 2021
IR35 has a wide effect, and can catch out many innocent contractor relationships. Following a year’s postponement, these rules will extend to the private sector for the first time from 6 April 2021. For affected contractors and those businesses using their services, there will be significant tax and practical consequences. It is important that appropriate steps are taken before 6 April to ensure that the tax position – and the contractual/employment relationship – remain as intended.
In this webinar Tax and estate planning Partner, James Austen and Employment Associate, Sinead Kelly cover:
- What is IR35/off-payroll working (OPW)?
- Changes expected in April 2021
- Current position from a tax perspective
- What this means for you and what you can do
