ScreenSkills training on IR35 changes



Date Posted: February 11, 2021

The new IR35 regime will finally come into force in April following a year’s delay – but do you know what it means for productions?

ScreenSkills is hosting a free seminar about the changes on Wednesday 24th February at 1-2pm.

The changes to IR35 will require production companies to assess the employment status of individuals engaged via loan out companies, with the tax liability shifting to the employer if the assessment is not undertaken with reasonable care.

Join Ceri Stoner, Partner at Wiggin LLP, who will guide you through the essential information. Stoner works with companies in the media and tech sectors across all aspects of their taxation requirements, from compliance to special projects.

Who is the course for?

This course will be useful for employers, hirers and professionals who need clarity on their employment tax status.

What does the seminar cover?

These changes have implications for productions and are due to come into place in April 2021, so it’s important you understand them including:

  • what the tax changes are;
  • what the risks and implications are for productions / production companies;
  • how to assess employment status, and the process of communicating the decision;
  • what reasonable care is.

The session is supported by ScreenSkills using National Lottery funds awarded by the BFI as part of the Future Film Skills programme.
