IR35 Audit

Many contractors are engaged on discrete projects that, with the right contracts and advice, can legitimately operate outside IR35.

We have retained our own legal expert to advise on contract & IR35 issues for all our clients and help them to confirm their self-employed status.

We offer :

  • Legal advice as to whether your contract can be structured outside IR35
  • Advice on new contract terms and contract revision, including IR35 angles
  • IR35 advice on (already signed) contract - fully detailed and reasoned written analysis and and opinion
  • Confirmation of Arrangements. The IR35 position of the income from a contract depends on the overall picture created by the reality, viewed against the background of the obligations and responsibilities laid down by the contract, and with that in turn viewed against the overall background of the business carried on by the Contractor.
  • Redrafting of contracts
  • Application for Inland Revenue opinion
  • Dealing with response to opinion from the Revenue
  • Negotiations with clients,agencies and the Inland Revenue
