UK government puts IR35 tax reforms on hold for a year in wake of coronavirus crisis

Heads up, IT contractors: the implementation of Britain’s IR35 controversial tax reforms have been delayed by a year due to the coronavirus pandemic.

The decision was announced among a £330bn financial package for the UK economy that includes a business rate holiday, emergency loans for companies, and financial assistance to airlines.

Speaking in Parliament on Tuesday evening, Chief Secretary to the Treasury Steve Barclay said: “The government is postponing the reforms to the off-payroll working rules, IR35, from 6 April 2020 to 6 April 2021.”
