Q: What is IR35?
IR35 is a part of UK tax legislation that determines whether a worker is self-employed or an employee for tax purposes.
It aims to prevent workers from falsely classifying themselves as self-employed to avoid paying taxes.
If a worker is found to be inside IR35, they will be subject to paying taxes as an employee. At SimplyBrella we provide a solution for workers and hiring companies by taking on the employment responsibilities.
At each payment interval, employees of SimplyBrella receive a payslip, that itemises all deductions from their gross salaries. This may include:
​
-
Income Tax
-
National Insurance Contributions (NICs):
-
Employer's NICs:
-
Private Pension Contributions

Student Loan repayments

SimplyBrella's fee
