IR35 is tax legislation introduced in July 2000 to tackle tax avoidance by individuals providing services through intermediaries—such as Personal Service Companies—who may not be paying the appropriate levels of income tax and National Insurance.

<p class="" data-start="152" data-end="453">IR35 is tax legislation introduced in July 2000 to tackle tax avoidance by individuals providing services through intermediaries - such as Personal Service Companies - who may not be paying the appropriate levels of income tax and National Insurance.</p><p class="" data-start="455" data-end="605">Following a delay due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the updated Off-Payroll Working Rules (commonly referred to as IR35) came into effect in April 2021.</p><p class="" data-start="607" data-end="940">Prior to this change, it was the contractor&rsquo;s responsibility to determine whether IR35 applied to their engagement.

<h3 class="" data-start="65" data-end="82">What is IR35?</h3><p class="" data-start="84" data-end="461">The off-payroll working rules, commonly referred to as IR35 or &lsquo;the intermediaries&rsquo; legislation&rsquo;, were introduced in 2000.
