Did the Chancellor Just Announce Repealing IR35? Not Quite!

Listen on

Episode notes

In his mini-budget on 23 September 2022, Kwasi Kwarteng announced a decision to repeal off-payroll legislation.  This was an unexpected and seismic change which has shocked the contracting sector!  There is a lot of misinformation doing the rounds, so we spoke to longstanding friend of the show Dave Chaplin, an expert known as "Mr IR35" to get his take on it all.  Join us to hear:

  • What specifically is changing (clue - IR35 is here to stay);
  • What does it actually mean in practical terms;
  • What should contractors and their clients be doing right now;
  • What is the likely longer term impact and risks;
  • Will the change really happen?!
It's unheard of for a Chancellor to unilaterally change primary legislation with no prior consultation, let alone something that which has huge implications for businesses in all sectors.  There is no-one better to discuss the issues with than Dave, this is one episode you won't want to miss!
