Having made our way to 2021, we are getting plenty of questions and requests for updates from contractors and clients on IR35. After the announcement that the new rules will be extended into the private sector, as of April 2021, Oscar partnered with Kingsbridge to offer support to clients and contractors through this change in legislation. Developed through the partnership, Oscar Status Secure provides an IR35 solution that manages the entire process, from status assessment to process consultation, so you can confidently and compliantly maintain your flexible workforce outside IR35. This solution can also be covered by Kingsbridge’s market leading, Zurich underwritten IR35 insurance policy, protecting the whole supply chain for up to both £100k legal defence costs and £100k tax liability per contractor.
