answer text <p>Falling within the off-payroll tax rules does not change an individual’s status for employment rights, as there is no direct link between employment taxes and these rights. In response to the Matthew Taylor review of Employment Practices in the Modern Economy, the Government will consult on the rules that determine an individual’s employment status for both employment rights and tax.</p> more like this

answer text <p>HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC)’s Check Employment Status for Tax (CEST) service has been tested for accuracy against known case law and settled cases. It provides an answer for 85 percent of uses, and HMRC will stand by the result given unless a compliance check finds the information provided isn’t accurate.</p><p> </p><p>Feedback from customers shows the CEST service is helping to ensure that, for most situations, decisions on whether a worker is in scope of the intermediaries legislation (known as IR35) are simple and quick. HMRC will continue to work with customers to enhance the service, and holds tax guidance on employment status under review.</p> more like this
