OFF-PAYROLL REFORM

IR35 REFORM: ONE YEAR ON

 

With a year of IR35 reform in the private sector, it is clear that HMRC have not yet given up their fight with the contracting industry, with new enquiries still being seen for previous tax years, and the most recent MSC compliance activity.


Over the past year, we have seen numerous enquiries opened into previous tax years, as well as compliance activity from the 2017 public sector reform. View below for more information about the events of the past year.
