IR35 – What is it and when does it apply?
- Webinar
- 12:30PM - 1:30PM, 23 Jul 2020
The government intends to implement changes to the way IR35 works in the private sector from April. It’s a significant change which will impact hundreds of thousands of contractors, agencies and clients – but the underlying IR35 status rules remain the same.
In this webinar IPSE’s Director of Policy, Andy Chamberlain, will explain the fundamental principles of IR35, the key factors that determine IR35 status and also why the existing rules and the proposed changes are dangerously flawed.
The webinar will answer the following questions:
- What is IR35 and why is it so controversial?
- What are key criteria: substitution, control and mutuality of obligation?
- What are the ‘business-on-own-account’ tests?
- Why case law and employment status are crucial
- Does the Check Employment Status for Tax (CEST) tool generate accurate determinations (spoiler alert: it doesn’t)
