IR35 remains a key subject for most agencies supplying contractors. Whilst liability for the tax currently rests with the contractor working in the private sector, that may change if the extension to the private sector goes ahead. ARC will continue to press the government to adopt proposals that are less invasive than those applying in the public sector, and in particular suggests that a business test would be more appropriate.
