Despite hopes of its upcoming demise, IR35 is still alive and dangerous and remains a major concern for many UK contractors.
That’s why it’s great to hear that a new online tool has been created which gives contractors an opportunity to discover whether or not they are IR35 compliant.
The tool has been created at ContractorCalculator.co.uk and is freely accessible to anyone visiting the website.
Dave Chaplin, CEO of Contractor Calculator and creator of the technology, explains it as follows:
“Evaluating employment status has always been complex, but we’re making it simple with a free, easy-to-use tool. Contractors are given a very clear answer, based on the latest case law and the result of the test will, for the first time, help them to make confident decisions about their contracts and tax affairs.”
With doubts remaining about the future of IR35 they have ensured that the technology remains adaptable to whatever alternative is put in its place.
So, here’s the question: Could you be caught by IR35?
