It is quite likely that the Treasury will announce on Monday 29th October in the Autumn Budget, if and when IR35 reforms will extend into the private sector.

It could be as early as April of next year when businesses may potentially be liable to determine their contractors' IR35 status; this means they will be solely responsible for any unpaid tax avoided by their contractors.

To ensure that businesses are as well prepared as possible to manage the anticipated reform; and in preparation for the announcement on Monday, 29th October, we have obtained an Summary Guide from Omega Global Resource Solution which highlights as follows:

• An introduction to IR35 in the private sector
• What is IR35
• When do IR35 reforms come in for the private sector
• Case Study: Christa Ackroyd vs HMRC
• Determining IR35 status
• Using HMRC's CEST Tool (Check Employment Status for Tax
• Summary
