HMRC has today announced, ahead of the formal publication of the review into the implementation of changes to the off-payroll working rules (IR35), that the rules will now apply only to payments made for services provided on or after 6th April 2020.
This is a significant change to the original guidelines which stated that IR35 would be applied to any payments made on or after 6 April 2020, irrespective of when the services were carried out and is likely to be welcome news to both contractors, end-clients and recruitment businesses, making it easier to ensure the rules are implemented correctly.
The updated guidance can be found in the Employment Status Manual or by clicking here.
