A review of the contractual terms and factual working arrangements to assess whether an engagement falls inside or outside IR35. Suitable for businesses engaging contractors or for contractors who want an independent assessment of their status.
What’s included:
• Review of the contractual documentation.
• Assessment of the factual working arrangements against the IR35 tests.
• A clear written opinion on whether the engagement is likely inside or outside IR35.
• Practical recommendations for strengthening your position where appropriate.
What’s not included:
• HMRC negotiations or appeals if HMRC challenges the IR35 status.
• Redrafting the consultancy agreement (see Consultant / Freelancer Agreement).
• Tax advice (including VAT, corporation tax, income tax, capital gains tax, and stamp duty). If specialist tax advice is needed, I can recommend a suitable accountant or tax adviser.
FAQ
Q: What is IR35?
A: IR35 is the off-payroll working rules. If HMRC considers that a contractor would be an employee if engaged directly, the engagement falls inside IR35 and the contractor (or the end client, depending on the size of the business) must account for income tax and NICs as if the contractor were employed.
