Employed or self-employed?

In tax and social security legislation, there's no real definition of what constitutes employment or self-employment (the only guidance available is from HMRC and the results of court cases to decide the issue).

The question of employed or self-employed is fundamental to how IR35 is applied, so HMRC issued IR56 to clarify things. And while they generously offer to determine on your exact IR35 status, we suggest this might not be a wise step for a contractor to take!

Complicated, isn′t it? We make it simple. Join us and be sure of being IR35-compliant. And of getting the full range of Tarpon benefits.
