Off-payroll working – a user guide
From April 2021 medium and large private sector businesses who engage contractors will need to consider whether the off-payrolling rules apply. If they apply, the business will be responsible for determining the tax status of the contractor and, in some cases, will need to treat the contractor as a deemed employee therefore paying them though the payroll.
