Hayes email about PSC private sector scheme

If it looks to good to be true...

Well it is from Hayes.......

Seems to be saying you won't be forced down the brolly route.

It's not saying you'll be outside IR35.

+1

Same conclusion I drew from it. Is it just them avoiding the apprentice levy?

hmm

And from a company that the last time I remember had contracts that were right on the borderline between pass and fail!

[northernladuk]

What am looking at? Just looks like a fairly standard press release?

"you will be aware HMRC published draft legislation in December 2016 to implement changes to the rules relating to IR35 to take effect from 6th April 2017. These rules will only apply to public sector organisations as listed in the FOI Act 2000 and its 2002 equivalent in Scotland.

Our solution
As you would expect from a FTSE 250 company, Hays has our own first class in-house tax department who have excellent relationships with HMRC, the Big Four accountancy firms and industry representative bodies. This team not only responded directly to the consultation document published by HMRC in May 2016, but has also been consistently close to all the actions taken by HMRC on this, with a direct line to the Lead Officials at HMRC who are responsible for the drafting of the legislation.

We will actively manage the transition for you
Hays is actively working with our public sector customers to ensure they understand the nature of the changes and that contractors working legitimately outside of IR35 can continue to do so. Hays are allowing contractors to still contract through their PSC companies whether you fall in or out of IR35.

We will be delighted to discuss these changes and our approach with you as required, however please note as specialist recruiting experts we are not in a position to offer tax advice and you should seek specialist tax advice if you are worried about the changes"
