Thousands of companies throughout the UK may be breaking the IR35 rules when it comes to reviewing the status of the freelance contractors who work for them, say tax and advisory firm Blick Rothenberg. The warning comes at the end of National payroll week and Robert Salter a client service director with the firm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since April Companies are required to assess whether each contractor is working in a pattern which is \u2018akin to that of an employee\u2019 unless they are exempt from the IR35 requirements as small enterprises.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Businesses are now legally obliged to account for PAYE and NICs on the invoices it receives from PSCs rather than simply paying them on a gross basis, where the contractor is held to be a \u2018deemed employee\u2019 of the end business. Failures by the businesses using freelance contractors in this regard can result in the business being liable to Interest and penalty charges in respect of the underpaid tax (with penalties potentially being as high as 100% in some scenarios. They must account for the PAYE which should have been accounted for and are liable to employee and employer NICs on the invoices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although the new legislation has been in place since April many businesses who are impacted by the IR35 changes are actually either (a) totally unaware of the new regulations, or (b) have not been able to invest in training staff vis-\u00e0-vis their obligations in this area and the obligations which one needs to meet, to protect the business from unwelcome tax and NIC charges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whilst these shortcomings are inevitable given the pressures businesses have been experiencing with Covid and the underlying difficulties associated with the core regulations \u2013 which are hard to understand and apply in practice \u2013 such factors will not provide businesses with any meaningful \u2018defence\u2019 in the case of a formal Revenue enquiry into this area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Moreover, businesses need to realize that HMRC teams have been staffed to specifically address this issue on a going forward basis, so the chance of receiving future enquiries in this regard are significant for most businesses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On an going forward basis, businesses should \u2013 if they haven\u2019t already \u2013 start reviewing the position of their contract employees and ensuring that these reviews are clearly documented. If this delayed review does highlight any problems, they should discuss the position with their advisors as a matter of urgency. If they don\u2019t, they risk getting into even more problems and difficulties over the coming months and years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
