Delivering IR35 Consultants
Stay Complaint with Inside and Outside IR35 Consultants
With the bring into legislation of the Off Payroll Working Regulations (IR35) 2001 and subsequent amendments of 2017 (Public Sector) and 2022 (Private Sector) it is now incumbent on all Employers and Public Authorities to ensure that all temporary for non-contingent labour complies with these difficult to navigate regulations.
At JAG Procurement and RJB Legal and Commercial Services Limited we have experienced, studied, and specialised in the requirements of how-to setup, determine, procure, manage, and sustain compliant contracts that will remain outside IR35 regulations and of course where necessary those that would be deemed inside IR35 as well.
We have built processes, tools, and templates to assist either a private sector or public sector organisations to have a full understanding of how best to ensure they stay complaint with the regulations, and still ensure that they can retain a flexible workforce for their projects and business services.
Many businesses have taken a very risk averse approach to IR35 and in that way has deemed most temporary consultants or labour inside IR35 which has three major effects on a business.

- Lost valuable experience and knowledge from the traditional non contingent labour pool as budgets were not available.
- Placed their businesses at risk of legal challenge for not ensuring that Reasonable Skill and Care has been used in the determination of the non-contingent requirements.
