IR35, also known as off-payroll working, are rules that effect contractors who do not meet HMRC’s definition of ‘self-employment’.
The rules make sure that workers, who would have been an employee if they were providing their services directly to the client, pay broadly the same Income Tax and National Insurance contributions as employees.

There are 3 important considerations to think about when contracting:
1. Ensure you take out Personal Indemnity Insurance to protect yourself against legal costs due to negligence or any compensation claims. Things can go wrong even for the most experienced contractors so it’s important to have this in place for your security
2. Take some time to look at your finances and forecast how much work you’ll need throughout the year to meet your needs. Although contractors receive a greater per day rate than employees, there may be periods of time that you are without work.
3. Contact an accountant to discover tax implications of becoming a contractor – corporation tax, IR35 and VAT considerations.
