Now that there is solid confirmation that the reforms to off-payroll working will be implemented from 6 April 2020, it is more important than ever for businesses and payroll departments to ensure that they are prepared for the changes, and to ensure compliancy. The CIPP offers an hour-long webinar, with the opportunity to ask questions in relation to this topic. The next one is being held on 22 January 2020, and you can enrol here.
Alternatively, there is a comprehensive half day training course – ‘Off-payroll working and other employment status considerations’. The next one takes place on 23 January 2020 in Solihull and you can enrol here.

Further information
• It has been confirmed that the off payroll working rules will come into play from April 2020, despite the general election casting doubt over a variety of policies intended to be implemented from the start of the new tax year. The government has begun a review into how the changes to off-payroll working can be put into practice, to ensure a smooth and seamless transition from April onwards. Many contractors are disappointed that there won’t be a delay to introduction of the new rules and have deemed the review as ‘hasty’ and ‘meaningless’.
CIPP comment
The CIPP recognises that the issue of off payroll working / IR35 reforms is currently the basis of much discussion and that businesses and contractors alike are concerned about how the changes may affect them. We run both a webinar, and a half day training course. The next webinar will run on 22 January 2020 and you can enrol here. The next classroom-based course – ‘Off-payroll working and other employment considerations’ is being held on 4 February 2020 in Cambridge. Sign up here.
