IR35 Policy Writers
IR35 policies set out how a business manages the use of off-payroll workers, such as contractors or consultants, to ensure compliance with UK tax rules.
These policies help determine whether an individual should be taxed as an employee or self-employed under the off-payroll working legislation.
What Do IR35 Off-Payroll Workers Policies Cover?
An IR35 policy typically includes:
-
Definition of off-payroll working and who it applies to
-
The company’s process for assessing IR35 status
-
Use of HMRC’s CEST (Check Employment Status for Tax) tool
-
Roles and responsibilities for making status determinations
-
Keeping records of assessments and decisions
-
Responding to challenges from workers or agencies
-
Payment procedures for workers inside and outside IR35
From April 2021, medium and large private sector businesses became responsible for determining the tax status of off-payroll workers. Incorrect handling can lead to financial penalties and HMRC investigation.
A clear policy helps ensure compliance, supports accurate contractor classification, and protects the business from unexpected tax liabilities.
