Perfecting IR35 compliance
Dave Chaplin, CEO of IR35 Shield, outlines how to achieve IR35 compliance through “Defendable Determinations.” Learn how to avoid costly mistakes and build strong contracts and evidence to withstand HMRC scrutiny. Vital guidance for businesses serious about managing off-payroll risk.
This webinar, presented by IR35 Shield CEO Dave Chaplin, focuses on "Perfecting IR35 Compliance" by demonstrating how businesses can build "Defendable Determinations" that stand up to HMRC scrutiny. The session emphasises moving beyond basic compliance to proactive risk management, highlighting the crucial role of expert advisors in navigating complex IR35 legislation. You'll gain insights into the "Perfecting Compliance Pyramid," a strategic framework for robust IR35 practices, from initial due diligence and contractual alignment to continuous monitoring and strong evidence gathering.
Dave Chaplin dissects the common pitfalls of "unsafe determinations," explaining how these can lead to protracted and expensive HMRC investigations, even if the underlying engagement is genuinely outside IR35. The webinar stresses the importance of well-drafted contracts that accurately reflect working practices and the need for comprehensive documentation to support IR35 status. Furthermore, it reinforces that HMRC's CEST tool is unreliable and should not be a sole basis for determinations, advocating instead for a meticulous, evidence-based approach. This webinar is essential for businesses who need to confidently manage their IR35 obligations and minimise financial and reputational risks.
