Lawspeed invites agencies and hirers to IR35 seminar – “Options for success” - 21st June 2017

No one wants a tax investigation let alone an unexpected bill for PAYE and NICs, yet public sector IR35 rules could leave hirers and supplying agencies exposed to a higher risk in this area than they might imagine.

“The solution”, says Ravi Murphy, Director of the recruitment law and compliance specialist Lawspeed, “is to understand all the issues around this area and apply a safe operations strategy. Whilst one way of dealing with it is to stop dealing with PSC contractors, this may not suit everyone, particularly the contractor. Another, simply relying on a hirer’s assertion that an arrangement is outside IR35, could be more of a gamble than a solid choice underpinning the value of the transaction. Some may not realise that there are more options which can retain both profitability and security that do not involve the agency outsourcing to a third party.”

Whilst explaining how the new rules work, Lawspeed will at the same time be exploring all avenues at its ‘options for success’ IR35 seminar to be held on 21 June 2017. Agencies, hirers and other interested parties are cordially invited to attend.

If you are a public sector hirer or an agency supplying contractors to the public sector, or you are otherwise interested in the issues that the new IR35 rules have generated, the seminar will be of interest to you. Aspects that will be covered include:

  • Public sector v public authority          
  • Who decides if IR35 applies
  • The duty on the hirer in practice
  • When is a fee payer not a fee payer
  • Review of the online ESS
  • Tax implications
  • IR35 in the context of the agency tax rules
  • All options including managed/outsourced services

Most importantly, this seminar will provide valuable insight into securing future hirer and contractor business.
