Reform the IR35 Tax Regulations introduced in 2000.

Petition Details

The IR35 Regulations, introduced in 2000 to address the differences in liabilities due to HMRC between an employee and a self-employed freelance contractor providing services under a limited company, is a highly subjective, unclear and disproportionate piece of legislation that should be amended.

Additional Information

Specific reforms sought are:

Absolute clarity for a contractor of his/her IR35 status prior to a contract being signed so that appropriate rates can be negotiated.

Within IR35 status calculations:

Have sufficient allowances for expenses, particularly for travelling freelance contractors (rather than just 5% currently).

Exempt ENICs from the IR35 calculations, as regular employees do not pay ENICs.

Build sufficient allowances into the calculations to recognise a lack of employee benefits.
