IR35 Government Review

IR35 Government Review

On 7 January the government announced it will review the IR35 provisions due to come into force in April 2020. This is in line with their election pledge to review the legislation.

The statement on the 7th confirmed the review would ensure the smooth implementation of the legislation. This wording makes it clear that the new legislation will happen and is unlikely there will be many changes. It is possible that the outcome of the review will just be more guidance regarding IR35.

The clock is ticking and companies are turning their attention to the 2020 IR35 legislation. This legislation should not be feared by medium and large companies and it can be dealt with and addressed so that any risk is calculated and mitigated. There are many misunderstandings about IR35 and ignoring the problem wont change the fact that the law is changing.

Trinity Tax can provide assistance to companies, from carrying out IR35 assessments to training staff so they can make their own decisions. Get in contact with us if you would like to know how we can help.
