This is the same approach that the Government successfully introduced last autumn, when comparable restrictions were in place and, as employees came off furlough, the vast majority returned to work. The economy is also in a stronger growth position now than it was last autumn, and the labour market is stronger too, with 5.5 million fewer people on furlough than in April 2020, and online job vacancy levels in June about 27% above February 2020 levels.<\/p>"}

Under these rules it is the individual\u2019s intermediary that is responsible for determining their employment status for tax, and paying the appropriate tax and NICs to HMRC. HMRC may conduct compliance checks on these determinations and amounts paid.<\/p> <\/p> All HMRC staff receive training required to perform their duties. This includes training for staff working with customers who require extra support, including supporting those with mental health conditions.<\/p> <\/p> From 6 April 2021, the changes to the off-payroll working rules shift responsibility for determining an individual's status from the individual's limited company to the client organisation engaging them. Any liabilities arising from the application of the reformed rules rest with client organisations or agencies in the labour supply chain.<\/p> <\/p> If the rules apply, it is these parties that are responsible for deducting income tax and employee National Insurance contributions before paying the individual\u2019s intermediary for the individual\u2019s services, as would be the case for actual employees or agency workers<\/p> <\/p>
