The new regulation is designed to ensure that any person that carries out work for a company in a contracting or freelancing role is not working under “disguised employment”. That is, they are not benefitting from the various tax rules that are designed for the management of companies rather than the tax rules which are designed for the management of people.
Elissa will explain exactly what the rules are, and how everybody needs to comply with them. Whilst IR35 is a disproportionately large issue for the IT industry, as many people work for companies under a personal service company banner, the legislation will affect all contractors.
The main points covered in the talk will be :
• What is IR35
• The different types of workers and definition of employees
• The Legal assessment applied
• Financial impact of application of IR35
• Strategy to manage IR35
