Interestingly there are two answers to this question, yes and no, and both are actually correct. Let us explain why. Yes – It is legally possible to eliminate risk of using contractors outside IR35 for end hiring clients. This is achieved in two steps: 1. Firstly IR35 Pro manage the IR35 process, our unique service exceeds HMRC’s requirement for ‘reasonable care’ which legally passes the IR35 risk down to the ‘fee payer’ in the supply chain. 2. Noting point 1, you must ensure the end client is therefore not the fee payer, so avoid direct hires. This is achieved by simply using an MSP, recruiter, or a 3rd party that pays the limited company contractor on behalf of the end client. Those 2 steps eliminate the IR35 risk for end hiring clients. It doesn’t however eliminate IR35 risk completely, as it’s passed down the supply chain as described. However, IR35 is significantly ‘de-risked’ by using IR35 Pro, our team has 17 years of legal expertise, over 2,000 clients serviced, and all assessments to date have passed HMRC.
