Drivers: You need to get ready for IR35

Are you a LTD Company Contractor?

Changes to the Government's IR35 legislation will come into force in April 2020, preventing larger haulage companies from taking on drivers who work as Ltd Companies.  Instead, you'll need to be employed as a PAYE worker - either as part of a haulage company's permanent driver pool or on your agency's payroll.  You'll still be able to work through your agency's Umbrella scheme as a PAYE worker.

Why IR35 Affects You

There are several criteria you must meet to legally continue trading as a Ltd Company contractor.  We've listed four of these criteria below to help you understand why, as an agency driver, you fall under IR35 and will likely need to move to a PAYE model:

We're in your corner

Our team is working really hard to negotiate new and improved PAYE rates with our clients so that we can offer our PAYE drivers the same level of net (after tax) pay they would get operating as Ltd Company contractors.

If you have any questions or would like to discuss the changes in more detail, we're more than happy to talk you through the options and, where applicable, guide you through the steps to transfer over to PAYE.
