5 Steps of IR35 compliance

Kingsbridges' main priority is to ensure that you are fully equipped and prepared with as little disruption to your business as possible.

With IR35, you have two options. The traditional approach is to assess the contractor’s status based on the information available and then to rely on it.

But this is too simplistic. What if the assessment is incorrect? What if the contractor disagrees? What if HMRC challenge? Who would defend? That’s why Kingsbridge have created the only solution that combines the best technology with expert support.

5 Steps to IR35 compliance

1. Identify the current level of internal knowledge of IR35 and consider training

An absence of any proper support or training within your organisation to enable those individuals responsible for making determinations to properly consider the off-payroll working rules could indicate an insufficient degree of reasonable care being exercised in the process.

"It's rare that you come across a business that absolutely understands what your needs are and delivers a service you would recommend to your own clients. Andy and his team delivered an exceptional annual refresher training to Conscious Benefits & Consultancy that was far better than previous suppliers have done. They are knowledgeable, well informed and extremely personable and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to other businesses." 

Alison Goodwin, Director, CONSCIOUS BENEFITS LTD

"After initial contact, Andy and his team agreed to take on my IR35 investigation. From that point on they dealt with the entire process with HMRC whilst keeping me informed throughout. I couldn't recommend Andy Vessey more highly. Andy's vast experience in dealing with IR35 investigations was evident throughout all communication. Customer service from Andy and his colleagues was exceptional from beginning to end. Together, they gave me the confidence of a successful outcome in what was a highly stressful situation. Massive thank you to Andy and his team."
