  • HR personnel
  • Managers
  • Finance and Payroll personnel
  • Contractors

What will be included in the session

  • A recap of the fundamental concepts of the Off Payroll Working rules
  • How current principles of employee, worker and self-employed status in employment law interact with employment status for tax purposes
  • A step by step walk through undertaking IR35 assessments when engaging contractors
  • Application of the rules through a practical example
  • A discussion on the HMRC CEST tool and the value of undertaking your own assessments
