Public Sector Contractor - Allowable Expenditure

GP has a number of roles and has been told that she falls within the new IR35 Rules

Didn't find your answer?

A GP has a number of different contracts with public bodies.  She has been told by the bodies in question that she falls within the new rules and that Tax and NI will be deducted.  To undertake the work, it is necessary for her to be a registered GP (although these are not GP roles) and she therefore believes that the cost of her CPD should be an allowable expense.  I don’t believe that this is possible but would welcome any advice.

I am not convinced that she does fall within the new IR35 rules but the public bodies are being very prudent.

This is a commercial issue such that the doctor should charge an amount to make it worthwhile after all the tax deductions and expenses while shafting the NHS. So the govt lose out instead of gain, ho hum.

I was in hospital for a minor op last week and it appears most staff are agency staff being paid much more than regular staff. I was thinking about all their IR35 issues as I went under. Actually that is a lie, I was more concerned that no one on the ward had ever worked there before or knew anyone else or the surgeon or the due process and my life was in their hands.....

There is a tool on the HMRC site that you can check whether she comes under IR35.
