answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/06/2019 answer text <p>DCMS has made no assessment as these are matters for HMRC.</p><p> </p><p>HMRC has not changed its approach to actors and other performers but has been working with industry to add some practical examples to the Employment Status Manual. Employment Status is not a choice but depends on the facts of the engagement. Given that most actors and performers are self-employed and unaffected by off-payroll rules (often known as IR35), they will not be affected by off-payroll reform in 2020 and do not pay Class 1 National Insurance. There are no plans to change this.</p> answering member constituency Stourbridge answering member printed Margot James question first answered 18/06/2019 15:24:20 answering member 4115 label Biography information for Margot James
