IR35 is a piece of tax legislation designed to prevent contractors from working as disguised permanent employees, benefiting from a tax efficient route without the responsibility of running a limited company.
If you’re a contractor operating through your own limited company, IR35 is a subject you’ll only be too familiar with. Since April 2021, unless you’re contracting for a ‘small’ private sector client, it’s the responsibility of the hirer to determine your assignment’s IR35 status.
However, even if your end client does determine your contract and working practices to be inside, this doesn’t mean that you can’t get a second opinion, especially if you’re thinking about challenging this assessment through the client-led disagreement process.
That’s why we’ve chosen to partner with IR35 specialists, QDOS. Either included as a free service within your ClearSky package or at a discounted cost, QDOS can provide either an IR35 contract assessment or a full IR35 review for each assignment.
An overview of these two services can be found below.
