Some payroll experts estimate that between 80% to 95% of take-home pay for consultants is not HMRC compliant! Many company HR and Risk and Compliance departments struggle to find enough clear information to confidently navigate through the confusing world of HMRC, tax and payroll compliance. Many Essex companies are understandably nervous of ‘rogue’ umbrella companies which are not always HMRC compliant. Neither the company or contractor using an umbrella company  would expect a high tax bill or know how to challenge a decision as HMRC are more than happy to retrospectively tax and fine anyone caught out. Ignorance is not a defence, but taxation is a complicated business built on a shifting sandbank of rules and regulations which is why you need an HMRC compliant payroll expert.

As an HMRC compliant payroll expert, SMCC ensure you don’t become an accidental tax avoidance target for HMRC or fall foul of IR35 legislation changes which come into effect in 2020. We help identify IR35 status and advise hirers and consultants of the best route to take to minimise risk and liability and ensure HMRC payroll compliance. We want the best for our London clients and our business has grown as we manage any concerns regarding hiring skilled consultants on a contract basis.  We work with in-house teams to achieve minimum disruption, streamline payroll and invoicing to enable you to retain key contractors. If you need a HMRC compliant payroll expert in London, please  contact SMCC by calling 01277 211151 or by email. mailto:info@smcc.uk.com

IR35 Specialist London

IR35 Specialist London

Are you looking for an IR35 specialist in London?

Scott Merrick Contractor Consulting (SMCC) works as an IR35 specialist with companies throughout London and Essex. We have a wealth of experience gained from years of providing contract staffing and payroll services. As an IR35 specialist we provide a protective link between hiring companies and contractors.

If you either work as a contractor or hirer you should be very concerned about the IR35 rule which will be extended to the private sector from April 2020. IR35 affects all contractors who do not meet HMRC’s definition of self-employment. The IR35 legislation was designed to stop contractors working as ‘disguised employees’, by taxing them at a rate similar to employees. Companies have recognised that there is an increased risk and responsibility involved in onboarding contractors.  Experienced London contractors and companies understand the value of an ‘IR35 friendly’ contract which clearly sets out the business-to-business nature of the arrangement and includes specific clauses that demonstrate IR35 compliance, such as a good strong substitution clause.

SMCC specialise in partnering with London companies which use consultants and require a specialist IR35 compliant contract and payments.  We operate within company payment cycles, while ensuring that all contractors are paid quickly and consistently.  All payments, invoices and timesheets are managed by our online portal, streamlining the process, taking less company time and ensuring transparency. We provide IR35 compliant solutions and can act as your off payroll partner and find the most tax efficient way of hiring contractors. We enable you to bring in key contractors quickly and efficiently while providing you the security and peace of mind needed in line with the latest IR35, HMRC, and industry guidelines regarding relationships and payments to contractors.
