What is Corecom
IR35 Connect?
Corecom IR35 Connect is a comprehensive compliance solution for contractor hiring businesses. It consists of three key, connected services that insures your business against any potential tax liability, reduces contractor management and administration and limits the strain of contractor cash flow.

What’s Changing?
Up until 2017 in the public sector and April 2021 in the private sector the responsibility for determining the IR35 status and any tax liability lied with the PSC. From April 2021 in the private sector status determination will be the responsibility of the end hirer and tax responsibility will be with the fee payer.
Should it be proved that the End Hirer has not taken “Reasonable Care” in coming to this status determination, any tax liability would pass from the Fee Payer (often the Recruitment Agency) to the End Hirer. It is therefore essential that you choose a compliance solution that allows you to meet this criteria and eliminate your potential retrospective tax liability.
