How does
IR35 Academy work?
How it works and what you need to do, we've got the answers to your common questions right here.
Meet current HMRC guidelines
To meet current HMRC guidelines, organisations affected by off-payroll working should have “robust training in place for employees who will need to understand and operate the rules”.
Understanding the rules is part of meeting "reasonable care"; failing to take reasonable care can result in 6 years backdated tax plus penalties.
Why does my team need IR35 & off-payroll training?
Without fully understanding IR35 and off-payroll, hiring limited company contractors can pose significant risks to your business.
Skill up your hiring team to HMRC's standards with our IR35 & off-payroll training courses, designed by the IR35 experts.
IR35 can be tricky. We break down what HMRC expect you to know, and combine it with knowledge unique to your business so your team can hire confidently.
What does our training cover?
Our comprehensive training modules cover every important aspect of the legislation starting from the basics, including the origins of the rules, understanding the difference between IR35 and off-payroll, who is affected and who is exempt. We examine how status is accurately determined, and best practice for IR35 assessments.
We also provide a bespoke module generated based on your business type, giving you clarity on how IR35 and off-payroll affects your organisation, how to manage responsibilities across the supply chain, and meeting reasonable care.
