For Recruiters
For Umbrella Companies and Contract Agencies, an agreement between at least two organisations within a contractor supply chain has become a very typical employment model.

IR35 or as is more formerly known “Intermediaries Legislation” was introduced by HMRC in 2000 as tax legislation specifically designed to battle tax avoidance by workers supplying services to clients through an intermediary, such as a limited company and used to assess whether a contractor is a genuine contractor rather than a ‘disguised’ employee, for the purposes of paying tax.
A genuine contractor, freelancer or consultant has nothing to fear from the IR35 legislation and are free to enjoy the benefits off using an intermediary service. The ‘outside IR35’ workers are able to take payment in the form of dividends from their limited companies.
Contact us and inform us of the changes; then, once we have finalised this, we will issue a P45 for your new employer, which means employment with us has ended.
