Off-payroll in relation to IR35
Off-payroll has been a commonly used term in the discussion of the intermediaries legislation IR35. Under IR35, off-payroll workers are deemed to be employees in all but name and must be treated as workers by the engaging organisation.
While not as common, the term “off-payroll” has also been used in the private sector, particularly during HMRC’s consultation on IR35 in the private sector.
