Orange & Gold launches industry first

Orange & Gold, one of the UKís providers of contract solutions to the technical staffing industry, is pioneering an exclusive new managed service called S-Pro. Aimed at high level IT contractors who can be defended robustly as outside IR35 S-Pro offers 100% indemnity against IR35 tax liabilities and as such is unique. Orange & Gold is the first specialist management company to take all the risk out of the equation.

The S-Pro product can be tailored to suit individual requirements and is the first product of its kind in the UK contract market. Since it was piloted earlier this year interest has been huge as Jonathan Shellard, Orange & Goldís founder and managing director, explains.

ìWe are always looking for ways to improve our services and the choice we offer in this very competitive market. We believe that S-Pro is the best product of its kind in the UK market for contractors who fulfil the criteria. Offering contractors 100% indemnity against potential tax liabilities sets a new industry standard and takes managed services to a new level. In the light of Gordon Brownís proposed clamp down on providers of ìcompositeî structures we believe demand for this robust service will be very high.î

Orange & Gold, established in 2000, also offers comprehensive payment solutions to contractors who fall within IR35. The company, which is an active member of ATSCo, works to raise industry standards and welcomes the Governmentís move to provide clarity and consistency in the taxation of freelancers.
