Oct 6, 2020

Caunce O'Hara launch IR35 Hub to help contractors, agencies and fee-payers navigate their way successfully through private sector IR35.

MANCHESTER, U.K. - Oct. 6, 2020 - PRLog -- Caunce O'Hara & Co Ltd, Freelancers & Contractor Business Insurance brokers, announce the launch of a new online IR35 Hub where contractors and fee-payers in the private sector can access all the in-depth information, taxation advice and insurance protection they need to navigate the maze of private sector IR35 off-payroll working legislation.

The business insurance experts at Caunce O'Hara and the IR35 taxation experts at Markel Tax have delivered a one-stop hub of knowledge and resources that are specifically designed to help contractors, agencies and fee-payers to grow and continue to be successful despite the burden that IR35 brings. The Hub contains up-to-date news items, free downloadable resources and an IR35 calculator, so contractors can see how being 'caught' inside IR35 might impact their finances.

Paul Mason, Head of Tax Partnerships at Markel Tax says, "The Caunce O'Hara IR35 Hub won't just provide you with a detailed understanding of how the April 2000 intermediaries legislation became the April 2021 off payroll legislation, it also has practical applications from IR35 calculators to contract reviews and buying relevant contractor insurances. Importantly, the content has been written by people who live and breathe IR35: whether from the perspective of contract writing and reviewing; consultants advising engagers, fee payers and contractors on their obligations; or investigations consultants defending you when HMRC calls."

Caunce O'Hara and Markel Tax have a rich history of protecting contractors from the negative impact of the IR35 off-payroll working legislation through business insurance and tax advice and tribunal representation respectively. Markel Tax successfully represented the taxpayer in the first IR35 case Lime IT v Justin (2001), with many more successful IR35 disputes won since then.

Ben Leeson, Head of Caunce O'Hara & Co Ltd says, "In readiness for the changes in legislation in April 2021 we are proud to launch our IR35 Hub. Our IR35 hub will provide an up to date, comprehensive and single reference point full of clear information and resources compiled by the experts both at Caunce O'Hara and the Markel Tax and Legal Expenses teams relating to IR35 that contractors, agencies and fee-payers will find value in."

The IR35 Hub is positioned to provide an unrivalled level of information, resources, and support to contractors, agencies and fee payers across the UK to help them navigate the maze of IR35 legislation.
