MedComms Workbook IR35 Survey, 18-23 February 2020
What’s the state of #IR35 readiness amongst #MedComms freelancers in the UK?
It seems highly likely that changes to the IR35 tax rules in the UK will apply from 6 April 2020. These will surely affect the working practices and relationships between at least some freelancers and their clients but, for now, it's not clear exactly how. We wanted to gauge the state of readiness and attitudes amongst the UK MedComms freelance community as represented by subscribers to the MedComms Workbook service.
IMPORTANT - this survey ran between 18-23 February 2020. This was before the UK's Budget Statement, which is expected on 11 March 2020. So, there's a possibility, however unlikely, that the changes will be delayed or indeed abandoned.
Note participation was on an entirely anonymous basis and the results were then made freely available to all.
This was not intended as a robust study but will hopefully provide a useful measure of sentiment amongst our specialist community and prove useful to companies that are currently planning how working practices might need to change.
