UK Budget 2020 – what it means for employersI think anti-climax is how I would best describe today’s Budget from an employer’s point of view. Although we were not expecting any major headlines on IR35 following the recent conclusion of the Government’s “review”, the fact that it did not feature in the Chancellor’s speech at all, and the only mention of the imminent IR35 changes was a brief paragraph buried away on page 88 of the Budget publication confirming it is full steam ahead, was a surprise.

UK Budget predictions 2020 - Employment TaxesDespite the controversy and confusion and pre-election promises of a review it looks certain that IR35 will be implemented as planned on April 6. The recent consultation has closed, and the government are pressing ahead. However, there still remains a strong call for Rishi Sunak to halt the process, with demonstrations taking place outside Westminster and commentators lambasting the plans but this seems certain to be ignored.
