IR35 Survival: Stay Compliant and Protected

4 Minutes

April 2021 saw a major change to UK tax law for hiring contractors, and with so much confusion, many organisations are uncertain on how best to navigate IR35 compliance. To help our clients, Spectrum IT has partnered with Kingsbridge Group to provide an award-winning solution to help manage IR35 processes.  This includes a dedicated portal to complete your determination assessments, and these can be backed by IR35 insurance to help minimise risk. 

“It's so simple to use the tool!  The additional notes were helpful when considering each question and the outcome was quick to be calculated at the end.  It makes the process far simpler, especially as there are so many grey areas”
