Over the past 12 months we have been working closely with our Clients, Contractors and Suppliers to ensure the implementation of the IR35 reforms have minimal impact on operations and that businesses are well prepared. The recent announcement confirming the deferral allows employers to review their IR35 programme preparations and to plan on how to bring them forward for April 2021.

We will continue to update these pages with more information.

From 6 April 2021, the responsibility for applying the off-payroll rules will move from the contractor to the ‘end-user’. And, where an individual is ‘inside’ the rules, it will be the responsibility of the ‘fee payer’ to make the appropriate deductions as required by HMRC, such as income tax, employer and employee NIC and the apprenticeship levy.
