Understand the reforms to the IR35 legislation

Reforms to IR35 legislation in the private sector have been delayed until April 2021. If you would like to discuss what the IR35 delay means for you or your organisation, contact your Hays consultant.

What is IR35?

Reforms to IR35 legislation, which came into force in April 2017 for the public sector, passed the responsibility for determining the tax status of all personal service company (PSC) interim workers to the hiring organisation, including potential liability for tax and national insurance contributions. In the Autumn 2018 budget, it was confirmed that the legislation would be extended to the private sector in April 2020, for large and medium-sized organisations which has since been delayed until April 2021.

The experience we have gained working with the public sector to mitigate potential risk from IR35 makes Hays the ideal partner to support and guide your recruitment strategies.
