is to be passed to them, and are therefore at equal risk of non-compliance or furthering non- compliance by PSCs. If this is the case, then transferring the burden to all engagers would provide the benefit of consistency across the board – rather than the one sector approach that is being proposed.

IR35 is viewed as a specialist area by the majority of payroll professionals who will need to become knowledgeable by the delivery time line.

Despite being just over six months away from a proposed go live date there is still no sign that this news and information is being promoted to the wider Public Sector engager community and their agents. This must happen as a matter of urgency to alert them of the need to adapt and strengthen their internal processes and to begin collecting the data which will enable payroll departments to process ‘deemed payments’.

In addition it needs to be recognised that there may be a delay in collating all information and therefore deemed payments that are processed via RTI may not be reported ‘on or before’.

An appropriate late reason code should be added to the existing list of late reason codes within the data items list to allow for the increased and legitimate risk of this occurring as quite often in a large organisation the decision maker may be very remote from the engager.
