What is IR35? IR35 Explained
Do contractors want to work “Inside” or “Outside” IR35?
If you are a genuine professional contractor, freelancer, interim or consultant who is in business on your own account, you are likely to be “Outside IR35”. However, this should always be confirmed with a robust status determination by an independent party with proven competency in IR35 matters.
More detail
All contractors would like to remain “Outside IR35” and stay engaged as such. They consider themselves in business on their own account, having chosen to be their own boss and not become their clients' employees.
To ensure there are no future IR35 compliance issues, and prepare for a potential compliance check, all parties should carry out accurate IR35 status assessments for each engagement.
