| We
have been advising agencies, contractors and accountants in the
contracting industry on the IR35 legal issues since the legislation
was first announced. Although clearly a taxation matter, the application
of IR35 relies upon the tests established in case law to determine
employment status and experience in contract drafting and negotiation
to avoid being caught by the legislation, where this is possible.
|
|
| All
too often contractors believe that their engagement is caught, perhaps
because of comments on the internet or by colleagues, when in fact
it may be possible to structure the engagement to be outside the
scope of the legislation. A proper assessment of a contractor's
situation requires an understanding of contracts, case law and crucially
the constituents of the contractor's work. Our knowledge of the
IT, recruitment and contracting industries combined with our legal
expertise enables us to understand the issues and achieve sizeable
tax savings for many of our clients. |
|
| We
currently work with a many firms of accountants to ensure that their
contractors receive the best legal advice and the accountant's exposure
to Professional Indemnity claims is minimised
by ensuring the right decisions are made by the appropriate professionals.
|
|
| If
you are looking to protect your client's interests or to add additional
services to your firm's business then we invite you to consider
how Lawspeed can assist your firm. |
|
| Please
note that we also advise Umbrella Companies on various issues including
Employee Benefit Trust schemes, IR35, Working Time Regulations,
employment law and relevant aspects of the forthcoming Employment
Agency Regulations. Please contact us
