Eamonn Holmes has become the latest TV star to lose an expensive IR35 tax case with HMRC.

However, after the taxman challenged his employment status in court, a judge ruled that the Holmes was effectively employed by ITV.

Changes to the off-payroll rules are due to take effect in April, when large and medium sized companies will be made responsible for judging a contractor’s employment status and potentially subtracting income tax and national insurance from their monthly pay.
