What is the IR35?

 

HMR&C introduced the legislation of the IR35 over 20 years ago, the purpose was to gauge whether a contractor was a ‘disguised’ or ‘hidden’ employee for reasons relating to paying the correct amount of tax.

 

The changes with the IR35 were due to come into effect back in April 2020, however was subsequently delayed as a result of the COVID19 pandemic for the private sector.

 

Here at Oasis Senior Home Care, we are a responsible and transparent company, fostering a culture of compliance and due diligence to act accordingly with the applicable laws, we condemn the act of deception in any capacity and strive for excellence in all our endeavours – which means to act with integrity on all levels of our businesses.

 

 

Oasis’s approach to IR35

 

The ‘self employed workers’ or otherwise known as professionals/carers on our collective platforms fall ‘OUTSIDE’ the IR35 legislation.

 

- They are in control of when, where, and how their provisions are delivered to the end ‘service users’.

 

- They are clearly identified as separate individuals and operate from an external source with their own UTR no. (Unique Taxpayers Reference Number) and do not receive any ‘employee’ related treatments or benefits.

 

- They carry out work(s) on an adhoc basis, they have the freedom to choose whether to accept or decline such works/jobs/assignments/placements/projects.

 

- They are responsible for managing their own; cost(s), self assessment(s), tax declaration(s), national insurance contributions and the success and failures of their activities.
