Opting Out Of Conduct Regulations

The opt out was designed originally to give a choice to highly skilled, professional personnel who wanted to operate as limited companies due to tax advantages but may not have wanted to be governed by the Regulations.

The Conduct of Employment Agencies and Employment Businesses Regulations 2003 (Conduct Regulations) automatically protect any work-seekers who are placed on assignment by an employment business.

One of the key rights under the Conduct Regulations is that a work-seeker is entitled to be paid for the work which they have carried out, irrespective of whether the employment business has been or expects to be paid by the client for that work. This pseudo-employment protection is often considered to be unsuitable for limited company contractors who intend to provide their services outside of IR35; a significant indicator of IR35 status is whether the contractor takes genuine commercial risk when performing their assignment and, if the contractor is guaranteed to be paid irrespective of any defects or deficiencies in their services, it is arguable that the contractor is not really taking any commercial risk at all.

For this reason, professional contractors will often waive their protection under the Conduct Regulations by signing an Opt Out. There is, of course, no guarantee that Opting Out of the Conduct Regulations would make the difference between a contractor being inside or outside of IR35. However, if a contractor has Opted Out, this can only assist their position in the event of an investigation into the contractor’s employment status.

This outline is given for information purposes only and individual situations are unique. Independent advice should be sought from an accounting or tax professional in all cases.

If you wish to opt out of the Conduct of Employment Agencies and Employment Businesses Regulations 2003, please complete the request form below/leave your details and a member of the Administration team will be in touch:

IR35

Fusion People remain fully committed to supporting our contractors in what is an already challenging landscape.

IR35 is HMRC tax legislation that ensures LTD (PSC) company contractors are not operating as self-employed contractors in order to avoid paying National Insurance and Employee level tax.

For further information or to answer any queries please contact our specialist IR35 response team ir35@fusionpeople.com

Our approved suppliers have undergone a stringent assessment process and are regularly audited to protect both us and you.

Since April 2021, end-clients have been required to specify whether an assignment is inside or outside of IR35 before you start work and we will make the status of the assignment clear to you when discussing contracting opportunities.

 

If your assignment is deemed to be outside the scope of IR35 by the client, we will pay you gross of income tax and national insurance and your PSC will be responsible for making the right tax and national insurance payments.

If your assignment is deemed to be inside of IR35, you will be required to choose a compliant model through which we engage you for the duration of the assignment as Fusion People will be required to deduct income tax and national insurance from your pay and pay this to HMRC. Your options will be:

Payrolled by Fusion People under a contract for services on a PAYE basis (not via your limited company) with deductions made at source.

Payrolled by Fusion People via your limited company with income tax and national insurance deducted at source.
