Public sector IR35 consultation launched

[eek]

Start looking. The only way to resolve this mess is to make it clear what the consequences for project delivery will be.

Isn't information on personal tax confidential and nobody except the revenue can request to see it? In my case, I pay no salary from MyCo, so my response would have to be £0.

Yep but most contractors are muppets who will just do what's asked.
Most hr drones don't know what's legal / illegal so will ask unless called out and won't care if they are. After all the others have provided the information, you are just in the awkward squad.

Hence my advice would be find something else, then cite the request as a breach of contract and start the new private sector contract

[Qdos Contractor]

The Qdos public sector pack was designed to be in line with the Procurement Policy Note (PPN) – Tax Arrangements of Public Appointees, which states; “The worker should be able to provide evidence of a contract review to say that they are outside the scope of the IR35 legislation at the 6 month point.” We back this up with a review of the working practices for a complete overview of the contractors status.

If the organisation are asking for more evidence than this, I would ask them how this marries up to PPN.

Any views on the consultation document Jon? I see you are mentioned as one of the organisations consulted at the bottom.

The MoD seem to be using some updated governance, has this been made available anywhere?

MoD making governance process available to the public. That's not going to happen is it surely?

If it relates to procurement, I hoped that it might have been circulated among suppliers, agencies, whoever so they can be aware of the new rules

I guess I'm impatient and want to know what the hell is going on before I check my Inbox tomorrow morning and have the worst confirmed.

If it has been it would be to the List X community only, at least for now. Don't expect anyone to tell you anything.

Looks like the MoD are ignoring the IR35 consultation and applying the new rules immediately. We have to provide proof of full tax and NI paid on payments received or contracts will be terminated and details passed to HMRC. Independent contract reviews are no longer accepted as proof of compliance.
