−	IR 35 (or 'Intermediaries Legislation') was introduced by HM Revenues and Customs (HMRC) in 2000. It was needed because the Exchequer was losing substantial amounts of tax and national insurance due to the use, by individuals, of personal services companies or self-employed status in circumstances where, in reality, they were employees who should be subject to full PAYE rules.

	Umbrella companies (or employment intermediaries) are commonly used to employ contractors in the UK. Effectively the contractor becomes an employee of the umbrella company and is assigned to work for construction clients. The umbrella company takes on the administrative burden of tasks such as payrolls, taxation, timesheets, insurance and invoicing. However, in 2015 it was announced that there would be a crackdown on the use of such companies that can abuse tax reliefs. From 6 April 2015, businesses providing two or more workers without operating PAYE must report their details, details of the position and of payments to HMRC.
