Contractors can save money and often pay less tax when they work with the right accountants. Since HMRC implemented changes to the off-payroll working rules (also known as IR35), knowing where you stand when it comes to tax is more challenging for busy contractors.

HMRC wants to ensure that contractors who work through intermediaries, such as a private limited company that they control, pay the same tax and National Insurance contributions (NICs) as an employee, especially when a contractor is an employee, in all but name.

When you only work with one client, either through an umbrella company or intermediary (often a wholly-owned private limited company) HMRC can classify you as an off-payroll employee, and therefore liable – although the company needs to make the payment – to pay more tax and NI.
