IR35 in the private sector

Large and medium-sized organisations have just six months left to prepare for changes to off-payroll working rules, which are due to extend to the private sector next spring.

From 6 April 2020, firms that engage private-sector contractors will be responsible for deciding if the rules should apply and deducting income tax and national insurance – rather than the contractors themselves.

Making sure you are well prepared before this date is important, both if you are an employer or a contractor and think the new rules will now apply to you.

This free guide is designed to outline the main changes and implications, however please do contact us directly if you are unsure and would like to seek advice on how to act.
