HMRC's published guidance<sup><sup>[2]</sup></sup> includes an explanation of when lorry (HGV) drivers are likely to be employed and self-employed. This guidance applies to those working through Personal Service Companies and so in scope of the off-payroll rules, and is not changed by the reform.</p><p> </p><p>[1] <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/off-payroll-working-rules-from-april-2021/off-payroll-working-rules-from-april-2021" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/off-payroll-working-rules-from-april-2021/off-payroll-working-rules-from-april-2021</a></p><p>[2] <a href="https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/employment-status-manual/esm4210" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/employment-status-manual/esm4210</a></p> answering member printed Lord Agnew of Oulton question first answered 31/03/2021 14:12:31 answering member 4689 label Biography information for Lord Agnew of Oulton
