A parliamentary group formed of MPs and peers has said that accountancy firms must challenge the new and “deeply flawed” IR35 rules.
“The accountancy profession needs to be challenging HMRC on the mess that has been created,” says Ruth Cadbury, MP for Brentford and Isleworth, and co-chair of the Loan Charge All-Party Parliamentary Group (APPG).
“I think accountancy firms have a responsibility to be completely transparent with people.”
The APPG published a paper in response to the new ‘off-payroll’ rules being brought into effect in the private sector earlier this month.

The government is facing calls from a 200-strong group of MPs to amend its 20-year-old IR35 tax-avoidance legislation over fears that its misuse is leaving growing numbers of contractors effectively working for companies as “zero-rights” employees.
The MPs in question, banding together as the Loan Charge All-Party Parliamentary Group (APPG), are calling for the IR35 legislation to be amended during the passing of this year’s Finance Bill to ensure contractors that are taxed like salaried workers receive the same workplace benefits too.
