Many businesses rely on specialist contractors for flexibility and skills. That remains a sound approach, but the tax position needs care.
The UK’s IR35 and off-payroll working rules govern when a contractor should be taxed like an employee. Getting this right protects cashflow, avoids interest and penalties, and builds confidence with contractors and agencies.
We have put together a guide that explains, in plain terms, how the rules apply in the 2025/26 tax year, what changed in April 2025, when those changes actually bite, and how to set up simple, durable processes. It’s written for owner-managers and finance teams who want a practical reference they can use throughout the year.
