IR35 Review
Manage your contractors’ IR35 statuses whilst ensuring reasonable care is taken and the correct outcome is achieved.
As an end hirer, it’s your responsibility to determine whether your contractors are genuinely self-employed or operating as “disguised employees” for tax purposes. This IR35 audit is crucial, as any misclassification can result in significant tax liabilities, fines, and penalties.
HMRC requires hirers to take “reasonable care” when assessing contractor roles. However, many businesses lack the in-house expertise to correctly apply IR35 legislation.
At Brookson Legal, we understand that each business is unique and requires a tailored approach to meet HMRC’s IR35 requirements.
Our IR35 Review service provides accurate and defensible status assessments for your contractor engagements. Conducted manually by our expert legal team, each review thoroughly evaluates working practices and contract terms against HMRC’s criteria. We deliver clear, compliant determinations, supported by detailed reasoning, to help you meet your End Hirer obligations and reduce the risk of penalties.
Additionally, we work closely with you to ensure your contractors and agencies understand your determinations and provide ongoing support to address any challenges that may arise.
