It is the end hirer’s obligation to complete IR35 audits and determine whether their contractors are genuinely self-employed and pay the correct taxes.
Not only do the government require an initial audit, but they expect hirers to display ‘reasonable care’ on an ongoing basis, making it key for hirers to consider whether they have the right processes in place to continually meet their legislative obligation. Therefore, hirers need to have a robust IR35 strategy with well-established processes to achieve this both now and in the future.

With over 20 years of experience in the industry, we can work directly with your business to help reach your reasonable care obligation, by undertaking accurate regular re-assessments to ensure determination remain correct. It is our recommendation that 25% of all reviews be re-assessed on a 6-monthly basis.
