LLP for new IR35 reforms?

[Skag]

I heard that having a LLP wouldn't affect you if you wanted to carry on working as a contractor, after April's 2020 reform, as the legislation is different to a Ltd. Is this true?

[northernladuk]

Correct.

If it did don't you think it would have been the most hotly discussed topic in contracting at the moment.

The role would be paid PAYE whatever the entity.

The engagement model might make a difference but just using a different PSC, or whatever you want to call it, model wouldn't.

I've never heard of this one.

But do let us know if an agency or client will take you on in that setup, it would make for interesting reading.

So the legislation is different but the liability would still lie with the client in an LLP, therefore the LLP contractor would still be paid on PAYE, correct?

Yes. You'd still be off payroll whatever model you use. You'd still fall could of HMRCs definitions.

a worker who provides their services through their intermediary

a client who receives services from a worker through their intermediary

an agency providing workers’ services through their intermediary

It's been documented not to work for the Public Sector already. The article is below.

There is, on top of that, the fact agents won't touch them.
