HMRC’s TAx LIABILITY changes

New Rule Hitting the UK: Businesses Now Liable for Umbrella Company Tax Mistakes

As HMRC prepares to roll out a new Umbrella Company Liability model, HR and Finance leaders must prepare for one of the most consequential compliance shifts in their talent program.

Virtual event
THursday, 14 august @ 12-12:45pm BST

A major compliance shake-up was announced on Monday, 21 July and it’s putting HR and Finance leaders directly in the spotlight.

New UK legislation introduces 'joint and several liability' which will soon make it easier for HMRC to hold businesses accountable for non-compliance and tax avoidance schemes in their contractor supply chain.

So, for businesses using umbrella companies or recruitment agencies  within their supply chain, the people responsible for hiring decisions will be under pressure to correctly implement changes accordingly, or face HMRC audits and hefty fines.

There’s no buffer. No plausible deniability. And no time to ignore it, as HMRC recently hired 5,000 auditors that made the headlines.

This isn’t just about legal risk, it’s about protecting your hiring timelines, your contractor experience, and your own reputation as a strategic leader. Join this expert-led session to understand what’s changing, how it affects you, and what to do now to get ahead.
