IR35 Debunked: Expelling the common myths around IR35

Incorrect information and assumptions can be dangerous, especially when they carry legal, financial, and reputational risk. IR35 is an example of were having the right information and actioning it appropriately is fundamental to preparing and protecting your business. As the liability and responsibility for correctly determining IR35 status and operating PAYE and NIC shifts from the contractor to the end client, businesses must be prepared.

The most common myths sit around contract lengths, the validity of written contracts, the liability chain, and assessment criteria. These include: 

• MYTH ONE: THE CANDIDATE HAS MORE THAN ONE CLIENT SO THEY MUST BE OUTSIDE IR35
• MYTH TWO: ALL ENGAGEMENTS OVER TWO YEARS ARE CAUGHT INSIDE IR35.
• MYTH THREE: IF THE CONTRACT SAYS THAT THE CONTRACTOR IS NOT AN EMPLOYEE, THEN IT IS FINE
• MYTH FOUR: IT'S THE AGENCY'S PROBLEM IF IR35 STATUS IS INCORRECT

These are all incorrect assumptions made around IR35.
