Members of the Association of Professional Staffing Companies (APSCo) helped to form its official response to HMRC’s latest consultation on the implementation of the private sector IR35 reforms.
Common concerns which were shared by members throughout the process included:
- Where liability sits in the supply chain
- When and how status determination should be made and communicated to recruitment firms and workers
- The likely increase in demand for fixed term project/statement of work services
- How recruitment firms can best prepare for the roll-out.
Commenting on the level of engagement, Tania Bowers, General Counsel at APSCo, said, “APSCo members certainly stepped up to the plate in terms of engaging with the consultation and I’d like to thank all those who took the time to get involved.
