The UK IR35 ‘Off payment’ rule deadline of April 6th is fast approaching, with this and the increased press coverage in mind, we wanted to highlight what’s been happening this week with these important changes for the UK job market…

There’s been confusion over applying the new measures and many companies to avoid risk entirely (including Barclays, Deutsche, GSK, HSBC, IBM, Lloyds, and RBS) have said they are no longer employing off-payroll workers.

The House of Lords committee has called on those individuals affected to submit evidence to the inquiry by February 25. If you are a contractor, follow this link to submit your evidence to UK parliament!!

For readers thoroughly confused or in need of further information re. IR35, Dave Chaplin, CEO, ContractorCalculator is a great start, otherwise, feel free to contact us with questions.
