Lyfe will send the Introducer a report of the net earnings from workplaces that the Introducer introduced to Lyfe on a 6 monthly basis, which the Introducer can use to prepare an invoice to send to Lyfe.

  1. All invoices should include 30 days payment terms.

Notice: Off-payroll working rules (IR35)

Off-payroll working rules (IR35) - Notice

Last Modified: 20th March 2021

What is IR35?

Initially introduced by HMRC back in April 2000, the aim of IR35 was to combat abuse by any individual who would be treated as a full-time employee were it not for the fact they provide work via their own personal service companies (PSCs). A PSC is when an individual whose engagement resembles employment, works through their own limited company, and therefore pays less tax than they should.

 

The changes have been made to close a loophole which allows people working full time to be seen as freelance, therefore changing the way they are taxed. 

 

Under the reforms, IR35 status has to be determined by a client, rather than contractor, who will then have their tax and National Insurance Contributions (NICs) deducted at source via PAYE. 

 

New rules around IR35 come into effect on 6 April 2021.

 

When does IR35 apply?

As either a Client (Workplace) or a ‘worker’ (Wellbeing Provider/ Supplier) you can use the Check Employment Status for Tax service to help you decide if the off-payroll working rules apply.

 

The off-payroll working rules can apply if a worker (sometimes known as a contractor or wellbeing provider in this document) provides their services through their own limited company or another type of intermediary to the client.

 

An intermediary will usually be the worker’s own personal service company, but could also be any of the following:

 

  • a partnership

  • a personal service company

  • an individual

 

The rules make sure that workers, who would have been an employee if they were providing their services directly to the client, pay broadly the same tax and National Insurance contributions as employees. These rules are sometimes known as ‘IR35’.

 

The client (Workplace) is the organisation who is or will be receiving the services of a worker (Wellbeing Provider). They may also be known as the engager, hirer or end client. 


 

Lyfe’s Responsibilities

Lyfe acts as an ‘employment intermediary’, an employment intermediary is a person or business who makes arrangements for someone to work for a third person. They are also often known as an ‘agency’ or ‘employment business’.

 

Under the Agency rules, Lyfe falls as an ‘exception to agency rules’ and outside of IR35 due to the nature of the services provided. The workers (Wellbeing Providers/ Suppliers) define their own service offerings, rates, duration, specific details during their onboarding to Lyfe. These are defined in the marketplace, a digital service catalogue for the end client (workplaces) to request and book service offerings from. 

 

As defined in the assessing factors, Lyfe and Wellbeing Providers do not meet the requirements. 

 

Assessing factors

There are three key principles that will determine the wellbeing service offerings/ assignment’s IR35 status, as shown below.

Supervision, Direction and Control

The first principle considers the degree of supervision, direction, and control the end client has over what, how, when, and where a supplier will complete their day-to-day work. If a client tells the worker how to work, the hours the supplier must work or where to perform their work then it’s likely your assignment is inside IR35.

Lyfe can evidence that an assignment is outside of IR35, the workers (Wellbeing Providers/Suppliers) do not have supervision, direction or control over how the work is done by the end client. The worker defines their defined service offering and the client has chosen said offering ‘off the shelf’. 

The worker is able to always work from their own home, or on premises not controlled or managed by the client - unless the type of service being provided to the client means the worker has to be at those premises.

 

The worker does not take on other work for the end client directly and is not moved onto different projects that are out of the scope of the original defined service offering booked.  

 

Substitution

The second principle examines whether the worker (Wellbeing Provider/Supplier) is required to carry out the work themself and whether they can send a substitute to perform your work. 

Under Lyfe’s terms, agreed bookings with a specific worker (Wellbeing Provider)  cannot be substituted to any one else. If a worker is unable to fulfil a request, the booking would be returned back to Lyfe to assign to another specialist worker (Wellbeing Provider). 

 

Mutuality of obligation

Finally, this third principle considers whether the end client is obliged to offer the wellbeing provider/supplier work and whether they are obliged to accept any work offered to them.

Mutuality of obligation is often difficult to evidence one way or another. All assignments will have a minimum expectation of work to be completed and when it is due to be paid for by the client. 

There is no obligation for the end client to offer either Lyfe or Lyfe’s Wellbeing Providers work beyond the booked assignment and would not (contractually) be required to accept any work offered.

 

Lyfe’s suppliers include 

  • Sole Traders

  • Personal Service Companies (PSC) via an umbrella company

  • Businesses or Charities (where they have confirmed delivery partners are on PAYE structure)

 

Lyfe will provide end clients (Workplaces) transparency on the employment status of the Wellbeing Providers/ Suppliers, the workers. Within the Lyfe Wellbeing Platform each Wellbeing Provider will confirm their employment status as part of the onboarding and verification process. These will be visible by the end client within their platform on booking request/ confirmation so there is a clear understanding.

 

In the Lyfe Platform, the Employment status of the Wellbeing Providers delivering services is presented.

  • SOLE TRADER

  • Personal Services Company (PSC, no Umbrella Company)

  • PAYE UMBRELLA (PSC)

  • B2B Services (with confirmed PAYE Structure)

  • Charity (with confirmed PAYE Structure)

 

Are the services delivered via Lyfe ‘inside’ or ‘outside’ IR35? Outside Ir35

For Wellbeing Providers

  • To be “inside IR35” means that you are considered, for tax purposes, an employee of your end client or intermediary and therefore subject to PAYE. 

 

  • To be “outside IR35” means that you are operating as a genuine business (not a “disguised employee”) and therefore operating outside of the IR35 rules. If you are operating “outside IR35”, you are allowed to remain responsible for your taxes as usual.

By the nature of the services end clients can access via Lyfe, Wellbeing provider services will sit ‘Outside IR35’. 

What does IR35 mean for our Wellbeing Providers?

Within the Lyfe Platform you will be required to define your Employment Status.

 

Sole traders, who do not operate under a Personal Services Company, PSC, are exempt by definition.

 

Individuals operating via a PSC will be paid via an umbrella company to ensure correct alignment to off-payroll requirements. 

 

Business and charities, will come under our standard operating terms, however must confirm that any workers (Wellbeing Providers) provided are on a PAYE model. 

 

Action: Within the Lyfe Platform, please navigate to the ‘Billing’ tab and complete your Employment status with one of the following options. 

  • SOLE TRADER

  • Personal Services Company (PSC, no Umbrella Company)

  • PAYE UMBRELLA (PSC)

  • B2B Services (with confirmed PAYE Structure)

  • Charity (with confirmed PAYE Structure)

 

What does IR35 mean for our Clients?

The rules require medium and large sized private sector end clients to determine the tax status of the contractors that work for them.
 

The end client will have the power to decide whether a contractor is self-employed, or should be brought onto their own payroll and pay tax and national insurance just like an employee would.  This may involve an increase in tax and national insurance for both contractors and paying clients. 

 

With this in place, it is important that Lyfe is able to evidence the employment status of all wellbeing providers, workers. 

 

There’s an exemption for end-clients who are ‘small businesses’ (as defined by the Companies Act 2006) which means meeting two or more of the following criteria:

 

  • Annual turnover is under £10.2 million

  • Balance sheet total is under £5.1 million

  • Under 50 employees.

 

Where the end-client meets two or more of these criteria, responsibility for determining the IR35 status of an assignment remains with the PSC, the changes do not apply.

The end-client must confirm the IR35 status of an assignment by providing a ‘Status Determination Statement’ (SDS) to the PSC supplier. As Lyfe is involved in the labour supply chain, Lyfe must also receive a copy of the relevant SDS.

 

In the Lyfe Platform, the Employment status of the Wellbeing Providers delivering services is presented.

  • SOLE TRADER

  • Personal Services Company (PSC, no Umbrella Company)

  • PAYE UMBRELLA (PSC)

  • B2B Services (with confirmed PAYE Structure)

  • Charity (with confirmed PAYE Structure)

 

 

Client Blanket IR35 Assessments

Lyfe is aware that some Clients will lead with ‘Blanket’ Assessment. 

Blanket IR35 decisions typically result in all workers/limited company contractors working for the same business being placed inside the legislation without a review of their individual contracts. 

HMRC has since said blanket determinations are non-compliant. 

 

Client role based IR35 decisions?

There is a fine line between a blanket IR35 decision, and a role-based IR35 decision, which HMRC says is compliant. Role-based determinations are when a client places all contractors with identical contractual conditions either inside or outside IR35. 

 

Lyfe’s Clients may choose to have a blanket role based decision where there is a risk if there are PSC in the supply chain. Lyfe’s approach to this is provided above, showing that all Wellbeing Providers accessed via the Digital Services Catalogue on the Lyfe platform are in line with the IR35 requirements for the management of sole traders, PSCs via Umbrella companies and with businesses.
