Definitive Employment Status Assessments to Mitigate Tax Risks
We provide expert determinations of worker status (employed vs self-employed) to protect against HMRC challenges and potential tax liabilities. Our assessments examine contracts, working practices, and industry benchmarks to establish correct status under IR35 and off-payroll working rules.
The service includes detailed documentation to support your position, implementation advice, and ongoing status review processes – critical for businesses using contractors or flexible workforces wanting to avoid unexpected tax bills and penalties.
