What does the service involve?

There are two main components to an IR35 review which are explained below. If you have any further questions about this, our dedicated IR35 Comply Team can help, simply contact them on 0161 923 0213 or email IR35@paystream.co.uk.

Contract review

Our team of IR35 specialists can review the contracts in the contractual chain from an IR35 perspective. We will advise whether your limited company contract supports a status of falling outside IR35 or whether it indicates that you or your representatives may fall inside IR35. We will provide you with a full written opinion, highlighting the key clauses relating to IR35 status, and provide you with an in-depth guide.

Working practices reviews

We can review the working practices by gathering information on how you and/or your representatives interact with your client on a daily basis. We will advise, based on the information provided, whether you are working consistently outside or inside IR35. We will make you aware of any IR35 risks and, where appropriate, be on hand to provide you with practical advice.

What can you expect from IR35 Comply?

In our industry, a strong focus on compliance is essential. We have a highly skilled legal and compliance team at our core - led by our Legal Director Alison Roberts.

What are your options?

One assignment: contract review only

We will review your company’s 'contract for service' and, if you have a copy, the contract between the agency and client. We will also review the contract if your limited company is working directly with the client. We will provide you with a full written opinion, highlighting the key clauses relating to IR35 status, and provide you with an in-depth guide. Please be aware that if you are subject to an IR35 enquiry, HMRC can look past the terms of the contract(s) to consider 'what went on in reality' - referring to your working practices, and those of your representatives if you have any. Your actual working practices can take precedence over the contract(s) wording when determining IR35 status and we therefore recommend that you also have a review on your working practices. Any changes that you make to your contract(s) following our advice should accurately reflect how you work in practice.
