IR35, also known as the off-payroll working rules, can significantly impact your business if you’re engaging contractors. Here’s what to keep in mind:
1) Assessing Employment Status: Determine if the contractor is working like an employee, using HMRC’s CEST tool as a guide. https://lnkd.in/dGYNp86
2) Liability Shift: If deemed inside IR35, the onus is on your business to ensure the right amount of tax and NICs are paid.
3) Clear Contracts: Maintain clear, comprehensive contracts to establish proper working relationships and mitigate risks.
4) Regular Reviews: Review your contractor relationships periodically to adapt to any changes in the working arrangement.
