What does this mean for you?
From 6 April 2020, 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.
