IR35 in plain English
IR35 is the set of UK tax rules that decides whether a contractor working through their own limited company should be taxed like an employee for a particular engagement. "Inside IR35" means the engagement is treated like employment for tax; "outside IR35" means it is not.
For public sector clients, and for medium and large private sector clients, the client decides the status and must give the contractor a Status Determination Statement explaining why. For small private sector clients, the contractor's own company decides.
Many adverts state the expected status, and where theHRkey has it the role summary shows it. Treat it as the client's starting position, check the Status Determination Statement before you sign, and take professional advice if you are unsure. This note is general information, not tax or legal advice.
