Qdos have been defending contractors in IR35 enquiries and investigations all the way to tribunal since the legislation was introduced in 2000.
As specialists on the legislation with over 1,600 successfully defended enquiries under our belt, we are one of the most experienced advisors in the field. Whilst an enquiry of any duration can be stressful, at Qdos, our consultants always try to close an enquiry as early as possible, avoiding the stress and uncertainty which comes with a case that goes to tribunal.
Below we provide you with some examples of cases completed by Qdos that both close early and which have been concluded at a tribunal hearing, providing you with first-hand accounts and experiences of an enquiry. Where the case did not go to tribunal and therefore the details are not publicly available, we have generalised the specifics (e.g. name of contractor) out of respect for our clients.
You will also find a number of case studies which were not completed by Qdos, giving you a wider picture of the history and application of IR35 case law.
