In a fundamental reform to combat so called ‘false self-employment’, businesses who engage freelancers will have to bear the risk of PAYE and NICs under IR35.
**Please note this event is exclusively for advertising agencies and marketing companies. Our IR35 session for other sectors is on 27 Feb, click here to view the event.
This will apply to all medium and large businesses in the private sector from April 2020. Advertising agencies frequently use freelancers and will be particularly affected by the new rules.
This practical session will discuss the new rules, what we know about how HMRC will apply them, HMRC’s new tools and guidance (expected to be released in December) and explain how agencies can avoid running into problems. We’ll also discuss how the sector is reacting to the changes.
