As the response to the COVID-19 outbreak continues into Autumn, and with the implementation of the Off-Payroll Working Legislation (IR35) looming on the horizon, Brookson Legal looks at whether working from home can strengthen a contractor’s IR35 status.

Getting IR35 right will gives businesses a competitive advantage over their competitors, allowing them to access the best talent at the best rates. If businesses get IR35 wrong and lose key contractors, it is going to be a financial and reputational business risk. Brookson Legal outlines their top advice on how to prepare for IR35 the right way.

As we approach the delayed deadline of IR35 in the Private Sector, many organisations will be focussed on ensuring that their contingent workforce has been engaged compliantly, has obtained a status determination statement and has shown reasonable care to arrive at their decision on whether a contractor is inside or outside of IR35.
