Answer
The off-payroll working rules (IR35) do not apply to people who are self-employed, such as sole traders.
The Government is committed to working with organisations to ensure that changes to the rules are implemented correctly. HMRC are undertaking an extensive programme of education and support to help organisations prepare for the reform.
