Why IR35 matters

IR35 is the complex set of rules that HMRC uses to work out whether you really are an independent contractor or actually an employee of your client.

If you are caught by IR35, you could pay thousands of pounds more in tax, interest and penalties. And also be subject to a time-consuming HMRC investigation.

IR35 is a real issue for contractors. HMRC enforces it rigorously and it can make a significant difference to your earnings. That’s why it pays to know your IR35 status.
