“Small” businesses will be outside of the new obligations and services supplied to such organisations will continue to be dealt with under the current IR35 rules with the worker and his or her personal service company effectively self-assessing whether the rules apply to that particular engagement.
The definition of “small” is based on the existing Companies Act 2006 definition. That is where the business satisfies 2 or more of the following features:
- Annual turnover of £10.2million or less
- Balance Sheet total of £5.1 million or less
- 50 employees or less
