The S&A Group’s Position and Approach to IR35
IR35, or rather the off-payroll employment legislation, to give it a formal label, is HMRC’s approach to dealing with what they describe as, “disguised employment“.
Essentially, HMRC claim that independent contractors across many UK industries are operating through limited companies to reduce their tax liabilities, but essentially doing the same ‘work’ as an employed individual.
Therefore, even though they may be operating at their own risk, without long term job security or any employment benefits such as SSP, holidays or pensions, they should still pay the same tax.
You can find out more about the official UK Government Off-Payroll Legislation HERE.
Whilst we fundamentally believe the legislation will negatively impact the macro economic outlook for the UK, we will always comply with law and policy.
IR35 is Good for S&A
As a consulting first business, we have always contracted in ways to deliver specific outcomes, at our cost and risk, to our clients. Likewise, where we use PSC’s, we hold them accountable for delivering outcomes to us.
So, for the majority of our work, its business as usual.
