A more in depth look at IR35 Comply

The rules introduced in April 2017 are being extended to the private sector. The responsibility for operating IR35 is shifting from the individual contractor to medium or large-sized clients and third sectors (such as charities) from April 2020. Developments in the April 2020 legislation, such as the client led status disagreement process, are also being applied to the public sector. Government has accepted that CEST is not fit for purpose and has committed to improving it ahead of April 2020. But, considering the industry’s need to start preparing for the changes urgently, how long will we have to wait for the latest version of CEST?
