UK doctors have nothing to fear from the introduction of a central register listing money or benefits they receive in addition to their NHS salary, say experts today ahead of a public meeting on the issue hosted by the All-Party Parliamentary Group for First Do No Harm and The BMJ.
IR35 is a tax reform that was unveiled in 1999 by the UK tax authorities.
The reforms are part of the government s crackdown on so-called disguised employment, where workers behave as employees but avoid paying regular income tax and national income contributions by billing for their services through personal service companies (PSCs), which are taxed at lower corporate rates.
The latest regulation change will force businesses in the UK to set the tax status of their contractors and freelancers. Previously this was set by the contractors themselves. This has already been the case in the public sector for years. The change that happened in April means the rules now apply to medium and large firms in the private sector too.

Offering children in some richer countries a coronavirus vaccine before some high-risk people in poorer ones is morally wrong , a group of MPs has been told.
Prof Andrew Pollard, who helped develop the Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine, said the inequity of vaccine distribution must change urgently .
The US and Canada have made a jab available to children as young as 12.
But in many low-income countries those most at risk are yet to be vaccinated. Appalling circumstances The overall aim of a global vaccination programme in a pandemic is to stop people dying, said Prof Pollard, director of the Oxford Vaccine Group, who led the trials for the Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine.
