answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 03/03/2020 answer text <p>The off-payroll working rules (IR35) have been in place for nearly 20 years.

The Government estimates that only one in ten personal services companies (PSCs) who should be operating the rules are doing so. This non-compliance is projected to increase from £700 million per year in 2017/18 to £1.3 billion per year in 2023/24.</p><p> </p><p>HMRC have measured the impact of reforming the off-payroll rules in the public sector and estimate that the reform has already raised an additional £550 million in income tax and NICs in the first 12 months since it was introduced.</p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 03/03/2020 13:33:35 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman
