Changes to off-payroll working (IR35) were due to be introduced in 2020, but were delayed by 12 months. The changes to the IR35 rules will now be implemented from 6 April 2021.

In our latest LB Talking Points webinar, our Business Services Director Christine Deacon and Client Relationship Manager Jess Morris, discuss what IR35 is, who it will affect, how it may affect them, plus other points to note on off-payroll working.

Many medium or large-sized non-public sector organisations are taking a precautionary approach, and have determined that all contractors are caught by IR35 and the new regulations, therefore requiring PAYE to be deducted from any future payments.

The reform is designed to ensure individuals working like employees but through their own limited company (‘personal service company’ or ‘PSC’), or other intermediary, pay broadly the same Income Tax and National Insurance contributions (NICs) as individuals who are directly employed. This means that the way many contractors pay tax will change for services provided on or after 6 April 2021.

HMRC will focus on ensuring compliance with the new rules, rather than investigating past arrangements

Boysober

Boysober

Have you ever wondered what life might be like if you stopped worrying about being wanted, and focused on understanding what you actually want? That was the question Hope Woodard asked herself after a string of situationships inspired her to take a break from sex and dating. She went "boysober," a personal concept that sparked a global movement among women looking to prioritize themselves over men. Now, Hope is looking to expand the ways we explore our relationship to relationships. Taking a bold, unfiltered look into modern love, romance, and self-discovery, Boysober will dive into messy stories about dating, sex, love, friendship, and breaking generational patterns—all with humor, vulnerability, and a fresh perspective.
