Subject: HMRC legislative changes to how you’re paid on assignment to TfL
Date: 21st December 2016
The Government is changing off-payroll working rules across the public sector from 6 April 2017 and believes public sector bodies have a duty to ensure that everyone who works for them pays the right amount of tax. This affects you as a limited company worker on a temporary contract as you are not on TfL’s payroll. These changes affect all public sector bodies. You can find out more in the Government’s Autumn Statement (section 4.11) and in this guidance from HMRC. What this means for you You will not be able to continue on assignment at TfL as a limited company worker and must change your pay status by Friday 17 February 2017. What you need to doTfL has written to your manager asking them to consider various options. These options are listed below. Please note that not all options may be available to you or your manager. Please discuss your options with your manager and with us. Please do this now and in early January as your manager will need to make a decision by Friday 20 January 2017.
The options (not all will be available to everyone) are:
1. Continue as NPL and convert to PAYE status (see glossary). Transfer to new contract by Friday 17 February 2017;
2. Continue as NPL and convert to umbrella company status (see glossary) by Friday 17 February 2017;
3. Convert to an employee on a permanent or fixed term contract. This will need to go through the normal recruitment approval and Headcount Controls process;
4. Stop working for TfL. This would need to happen by Wednesday 5 April 2017 to comply with the legislation.
5. Critical workers who cannot be put into the above options must be highlighted to the NPL team as a priority and we will review all options in order to retain your skills and deliver the work required by the business.
If you have questions or need clarification of any of this, please call or email us and we will be in touch as soon as possible. You can also access the latest news on off-payroll working, a glossary of terms and FAQs on the NPL homepage under ‘Working at TfL’here.
This change is happening quickly and may come as a surprise to you if it’s the first time you’ve heard about the legislative reforms. You’ll need to have conversations with your manager and your agency contact to ensure TfL meets its legislative duties.
Thank you for helping us meet these new legislative reforms within such a short timeframe, especially with the Christmas break upon us and the fact that we’re all busy delivering against our objectives. Your support is appreciated and we will give you as much support as we can in return.
