BBC presenters lose in IR35 ‘chaos’

HMRC has won a First Tier Tribunal (FTT) case concerning the employment status of three BBC presenters who used personal service companies (PSCs), in an IR35 ruling involving over £300,000 in tax which threatens to add to the ‘chaos’ around how the employment rules should be applied.

The tribunal concerned the working arrangements for presenters David Eades, Tim Willcox and Joanna Gosling, who worked on the BBC News and World channels.
