IR35

The proposed role out of IR35 within the private sector has been deferred for a year until April 2021. This may be too late for many, as several contractors may already have taken permanent jobs. Please email me or call me directly for specific advice relating to your personal situation.

Details still to follow, but businesses are to be able to reclaim 80% of furloughed workers salary costs, up to £2,500 per month. Applications will be through an online portal supposedly during the week beginning 23rd March.

I understand that the self employed will still be able to work to qualify for the money, but they will need to have suffered loss as a result of the CV. There is no guidance as to how much of a loss they will have had to suffer. More will follow I am sure.
