	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 10/09/2018 answer text <p>HM Revenue and Customs do not comment on identifiable cases because of their duty to maintain taxpayer confidentiality.</p><p> </p><p>The off-payroll working rules (often known as IR35) ensure that individuals who work like employees pay broadly the same income tax and National Insurance contributions (NICs) as other employees, regardless of whether they work through a personal service company. These rules have been in place for nearly 20 years but non-compliance was widespread.</p><p> </p><p>In Finance Act 2017 the Government reformed the rules in the public sector. The reform introduced no new tax liability but moved responsibility for operating the rules to public authority engagers, including the BBC. Initial evidence suggests that the reform has been successful and more people are paying the right tax.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Central Devon answering member printed Mel Stride question first answered 10/09/2018 13:07:57 answering member 3935 label Biography information for Mel Stride
