Coronavirus has shaken the economy and businesses are already beginning to feel the strain. In response to this, the government has decided to postpone the implementation of IR35 until April 2021 as businesses may not cope with these new changes.
What is IR35?
IR35 seeks to shift the responsibility of correctly deciding the employment status of a contractor, from the contractor to the client. If the wrong decision is made, the client becomes responsible for paying employers’ NICs, and the tax liability is also shifted to the agency or end-client.
What does this mean for you as the agency?
The recently announced delay means that you can breathe a sigh of relief as you now have more time to get to grips with IR35 and can continue as normal with Limited Companies, offering them the same jobs and the same rates.
What does this mean for you as a Limited Company?
You can continue as normal for now and you won’t lose out on anything.
