MPs: HMRC responsible for Government’s IR35 non-compliance

An influential group of MPs has blamed HMRC for ‘widespread non-compliance’ with IR35 rules in Government departments.

A new Public Accounts Committee (PAC) report on IR35 in the public sector has concluded that HMRC rushed the implementation of reforms and didn’t give public bodies enough guidance through the process.

IR35 rules were changed in the Public Sector in 2017 and the rules were extended to the Private Sector in 2021.
