This is a follow-up inquiry to the Sub-Committee’s April 2020 report, Off-payroll working: treating people fairly, on the government's proposals for moving responsibility for assessing compliance with its off-payroll working rules (IR35) from contractors to those who engage them.

 This inquiry seeks written evidence on:

1.           Has the recent extension of the off-payroll working rules to the private sector made it more difficult for engagers (the business the contractor ultimately works for) to hire people with the right skills and expertise? To what extent has its introduction contributed to job vacancies?
