IR35 was introduced in 2000 to address concerns relating to individuals who supply their services via an intermediary (such as a Ltd Company) instead of as an employee, and therefore avoid paying employee income tax and national insurance contributions.
Where an assignment is deemed ‘inside’ IR35, PAYE deductions must be made from the contractor’s pay.
Any assignment ‘outside’ IR35 is classed as a genuine B2B service and is therefore not subject to the same tax treatment as employees.
