Looks like this was updated yesterday:
Off-payroll working rules from April 2020: Factsheet - GOV.UK
Besides all the usual HMRC rhetoric in the documents, I'm pondering the point below, particularly the part in bold.
Addressing key concerns
7. Since the introduction of the public sector reform, and during consultations, the Government has listened to the views of stakeholders. On the basis of their feedback, it can confirm:
• The reform is not retrospective. As was the case in the public sector, HMRC will focus on ensuring businesses comply with the reform for new engagements, rather than focusing on historic cases
A "new engagement" would imply a new contract, would it not?
So shouldn't this mean that any existing contracts that run beyond April 2020 are exempt from a client-determination, until such time that a renewal is due?
