Many of you who have been contracting for a number of years will already be aware of and understand the concept & impact of IR35. However for those that have never Contracted before you may want and need further information.
Until April 2000 there had been little confusion as most, if not all contractors operated through either an umbrella or limited companies. In doing so they were free to manage their income themselves, normally with the assistance of an accountant. If you have been contracting for a while you will know that historically this included, very low salary levels being drawn alongside expenses monthly, with a balance usually paid as a dividend.
Dividends were taken rather than salary as they do not attract National Insurance deductions, and some income was also passed to other individuals (normally people on low income such as working/non working spouses).
Above arrangement was working out in favour of Contractors and Taxman was loosing out. Hence the famous IR35 was brought in to prevent the payment of less tax and national insurance by using a personal service company or partnership to provide services through rather than being a direct employee.
The regulations are applied where a worker supplies services through a relevant intermediary (which can be a company, partnership or individual), to a client and had the worker contracted directly with the client, the income would have been treated as employment income for tax purposes.
