Is your business prepared for the impending IR35 changes to be introduced in 2021?
[/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”3.29.3″]
If your business engages with limited company contractors, the impending changes to IR35 will have an impact on your organisation. The need for preparation to incorporate the changes in legislation is imperative to ensure a smooth transition to reduce impact.

What is IR35?
First introduced in 2000, IR35 was designed to reduce tax avoidance by contractors who HMRC believe to be “disguised employees” – people who work in a similar way to full-time employees but charge for their services using their limited companies to make their business as tax efficient as possible.
Changes due in April 2021
Currently, an individual working through their own limited company is responsible for determining their IR35 status on each contract they undertake and make deductions for tax and national insurance contributions in accordance with their IR35 status.
As we know, the government intend to change the way IR35 status is determined going forward. The determination of IR35 status will become the responsibility of the end client/hirer and should be passed down through the supply chain (if a fee payer is in place – generally a recruitment agency) to the contractor. Tax liability will sit with the “fee payer” who must deduct tax and national insurance contributions and report using Real Time Information (RTI).
It is important to understand how the changes to IR35 due in April 2021 will impact your current processes within the business.
[/et_pb_text][/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”3.29.3″][et_pb_text module_class=”quote-box” _builder_version=”3.29.3″ background_image=”https://www.optimusshield.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/quote.jpg” animation_style=”slide” animation_direction=”right” animation_delay=”250ms” animation_intensity_slide=”11%”]
If your organisation engages with limited company contractors, these changes will impact you.
Understanding IR35 and the ramifications it will have on your business can be daunting, however your organisation does not want to be liable for owed taxes estimated by HMRC to reach 1.2 billion by 2023 not to mention the possible risk to reputation for non-compliance.

Individual assessments will help you to retain top talent
Each contract is individually assessed along with the working practices using our unique status determination tool to identify IR35 status.
Once assessment is completed a status determination statement (SDS) is issued to all parties in the supply chain.
Upon determination of the status, Optimus Shield can facilitate a fee payer service for both outside and inside IR35 situations.
