Expert IR35 advice & compliance
We thoroughly vet all candidates during our interviews with them, so we understand their personalities, qualities, and experience. Rest assured that we will never bombard you with CVs.
We take time to meet and get to know you, so we can fully understand your business, your company culture and precisely what you need. We also get to know each candidate individually. It is only by doing this that we can successfully match the two.
We’re honest, open people who say it how it is. Our ethos is based on always being straightforward in our approach. We find it builds mutual respect that forms the basis of many long-standing business relationships.
If you don’t have the resources in-house, we can undertake full pre-employment screening, including proof of right to work in the UK, proof of address, up to 10-years’ work history, criminal history search, credit and fraud checks, limited company searches, directors’ searches, and terrorist checks.
As part of our contractor care programme, we will always handle any changes to the contract (such as renewals and extensions), reducing the administrative burden on you. We will also explain your timesheet and billing process to the contractors, so they can fully focus on their assignment right from day one.
We take contracts very seriously and make it our business to ensure that all parties are fully protected at all times. That’s why we go to APSco. They are specialists in recruitment, employment, and contract law and are renowned for being the best in the industry.
With the updates to off-payroll working now in force, this does not mean your organisation has to stop utilising flexible, highly skilled contract resources or automatically incur the cost of on-payroll PAYE. It simply means you need to be prepared and work with an agency that can guide you through what should be a painless process ensuring HMRC compliance.
IR35 is NOT new; it is a legislation that has been around since 2000! Until now, a contractor could decide their own status and whether to opt inside or outside of IR35. On the 6th April 2021, the legislation changed where the ‘end client’ became responsible for determining the contractor's status, leading to an “on or off-payroll” outcome being passed down to contractor and agency workers.
IR35 was designed to close a tax loophole where the workers could operate via a Limited company and pay less tax – in simple terms. The updated legislation will now ensure that “deemed employees” are correctly identified and provided with a status determination, with deemed employers now taxed under PAYE and the end client being liable for “employer” costs.
