They’re written for businesses, agencies, and consultancies — and come with free licences for unlimited use.
Contract Reviews: Our IR35 contract reviews are carried out by experienced specialists and focus on the key status elements in law. Rest easy in the knowledge that your existing contracts have been reviewed in detail by IR35 specialists with decades of experience.
The contract is the cornerstone of solid IR35 compliance. The Supreme Court has ruled that unambigiuous contract clauses cannot be overridden by working conditions. Our template contracts packs and expert reviews help you put protection in place now - before an HMRC investigation begins.
