Well, this blog might sound like we’re singing loudly and badly, the Hokey Cokey, or playing some other sort of children’s game or activity. But IR35, for many of us, is most definitely as far removed from this sort of pleasure as is practical. Because, as we all know, if you get it wrong, the tax man will most definitely come knocking on your door, so to speak.
Introduced in April 2020, and still causing a lot of controversy and confusion, this piece of legislation doesn’t look like it is going to disappear any time soon. There are, of course, a complex set of guidelines to adhere to and follow, for all parties involved to appreciate and understand. It is knowing where you fit in to the ‘newish’ structure that bothers most people. This includes self-employed contractors working for their own limited company and those companies who are doing the hiring.
There is a tremendous amount of advice that can be found, both from the government and other trusted sources, to help guide you successfully through the maze, as to whether you are required to work inside or outside IR35. So, just like the song, I’m sure, you will all be striving to put the right limb in, or out, at the correct time.
