Currently common practice is that the majority of the payment will be made in the form of dividend payments and then a lower <a href=\"https:\/\/rfblegal.co.uk\/pt\/base-de-conhecimentos\/o-que-significa-a-lista-de-salarios-dos-imigrantes\/\">salary<\/a> will be <a href=\"https:\/\/rfblegal.co.uk\/pt\/base-de-conhecimentos\/guia-para-senhorios-de-imoveis-residenciais-o-que-fazer-se-o-inquilino-nao-pagar-a-renda-no-reino-unido\/\">paid<\/a>, which results in a lower rate of income tax being paid.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">O IR35 \u00e9 a legisla\u00e7\u00e3o fiscal adoptada para evitar que o imposto seja pago desta forma. Muitas vezes, a realidade da situa\u00e7\u00e3o \u00e9 que, de facto, o indiv\u00edduo com o PSC e a empresa contratante teriam uma rela\u00e7\u00e3o de trabalho se o PSC fosse retirado da situa\u00e7\u00e3o.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In turn the effect of this would also have a significant impact upon the <a href=\"https:\/\/rfblegal.co.uk\/pt\/servicos\/direito-pessoal\/servicos-de-direito-do-trabalho\/\">employment law<\/a> status of an individual.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A company engaging the PSC benefits from the fact that the individual is not employed directly and won\u2019t have employment law rights (such as the <a href=\"https:\/\/rfblegal.co.uk\/pt\/percepcoes\/o-direito-de-primeira-recusa-principais-informacoes-para-senhorios-e-inquilinos\/\">right<\/a> to not be unfairly dismissed, the right to <a href=\"https:\/\/rfblegal.co.uk\/pt\/servicos\/direito-pessoal\/emprego\/redundancy\/\">redundancy<\/a> pay and holiday pay, to name a few). They also won\u2019t have to pay pension contributions and employer\u2019s national insurance contributions, which can be a significant saving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><u>Qual \u00e9 o efeito do IR35?<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Se uma rela\u00e7\u00e3o contratual estiver abrangida pelo IR35, ent\u00e3o o indiv\u00edduo com o PSC ser\u00e1 um trabalhador por conta de outrem para efeitos fiscais. O efeito \u00e9 que a pessoa deve ser paga da mesma forma que um trabalhador por conta de outrem, com dedu\u00e7\u00e3o do imposto sobre o rendimento e das contribui\u00e7\u00f5es para a seguran\u00e7a social. \u00c9 prov\u00e1vel que isto signifique que seja necess\u00e1rio pagar mais impostos do que os que o PSC paga atualmente.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If an individual is paying tax as though they are not covered by IR35 (i.e. by dividend and low salary), and in fact they should be paying income tax on all earnings, then the <a href=\"https:\/\/rfblegal.co.uk\/pt\/percepcoes\/beneficiarios-em-falta-e-ordens-de-benjamim\/\">missing<\/a> tax and national insurance payments going back a period of 6 years can be recovered by HMRC. Interest and penalties may also be payable. There can therefore be a significant financial liability for working through a PSC, when the reality is that there would be a direct employment relationship without the PSC. There will also be implications on the employment law status of the individual which is discussed further below. However, if a contract is outside of IR35 then the individual will be deemed to genuinely be self-employed and they can pay tax in the form of dividends and lower salary payments. It is also likely that there will be no entitlement to any employment law rights as this would in essence amount to a contract between 2 companies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><u>Quem avalia o estatuto IR35 e quais s\u00e3o as responsabilidades relacionadas com este facto?<\/u><\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">M\u00e9dias e grandes empresas&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A partir de 6<sup>th<\/sup>&nbsp;Em abril de 2020, as m\u00e9dias e grandes empresas do sector privado ser\u00e3o respons\u00e1veis por confirmar o estatuto IR35 dos indiv\u00edduos que contratam para trabalhar atrav\u00e9s de PSCs. Para ser uma empresa de m\u00e9dia ou grande dimens\u00e3o, a empresa contratante deve cumprir pelo menos 2 dos seguintes crit\u00e9rios:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>A empresa tem mais de 50 empregados;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>T\u00eam um balan\u00e7o superior a 5,1 milh\u00f5es de libras;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>O seu volume de neg\u00f3cios anual \u00e9 superior a 10,2 milh\u00f5es de libras.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before a contract starts, or on the date it begins, medium or large companies must give the individual\/PSC a status determination statement which explains the reason why a person is or is not covered by IR35. If they fail to do this, or fail to take reasonable care when determining status, then the medium\/large <a href=\"https:\/\/rfblegal.co.uk\/pt\/percepcoes\/contratos-comerciais-qa\/\">business<\/a> will hold the liability for tax and national insurance until the worker is given the statement. If the individual\/PSC disagrees with the status determination then they can <a href=\"https:\/\/rfblegal.co.uk\/pt\/percepcoes\/recurso-judicial-contra-a-reforma-do-regime-de-arrendamento-coloca-em-duvida-o-futuro-de-disposicoes-fundamentais\/\">challenge<\/a> this. The medium or large company will have 45 days to review its decision and confirm if they are upholding their statement or if they are <a href=\"https:\/\/rfblegal.co.uk\/pt\/base-de-conhecimentos\/desistir-de-um-emprego-depois-de-ter-assinado-o-contrato-o-que-fazer-se-tiver-duvidas\/\">withdrawing<\/a> their statement and issuing a different determination. They must accompany this with reasons and if they fail to do this the company will be responsible for the tax and national insurance until the worker is given the statement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These companies will also now be responsible for making the correct tax and national insurance deductions when making payments to the PSC. It is therefore paramount that medium and large businesses reasonably assess the tax status of the people working for them, to avoid exposure for demands from HMRC. Failure to do so may result in payment burden for under paid tax and national insurance contributions, notwithstanding the interest and potential <a href=\"https:\/\/rfblegal.co.uk\/pt\/percepcoes\/bridging-lenders-default-interest-rate-high-court-deems-4-default-interest-an-unenforceable-penalty-charge\/\">penalty<\/a> that accompanies the failure to comply with their new obligations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pequenas empresas<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Se a empresa contratante for uma pequena empresa do sector privado, n\u00e3o h\u00e1 qualquer altera\u00e7\u00e3o. O indiv\u00edduo com o PSC ser\u00e1 respons\u00e1vel por confirmar o seu estatuto IR35. Isto significa que o indiv\u00edduo com o PSC ser\u00e1 respons\u00e1vel por efetuar os pagamentos corretos do imposto sobre o rendimento e do seguro nacional e, se se considerar incorretamente fora do IR35, o indiv\u00edduo com o PSC continuar\u00e1 a ser respons\u00e1vel por quaisquer juros e penaliza\u00e7\u00f5es que se sigam, caso se considere incorretamente.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><u>Como determinar se a sua rela\u00e7\u00e3o contratual est\u00e1 abrangida ou n\u00e3o pelo IR35?<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">H\u00e1 uma s\u00e9rie de factores a considerar para saber se algu\u00e9m est\u00e1 dentro ou fora do IR35.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Controlo e dire\u00e7\u00e3o<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Um dos factores determinantes mais importantes do estatuto IR35 gira em torno da medida em que um cliente controla onde, quando e como um indiv\u00edduo executa o seu trabalho. Na maioria dos casos em que s\u00e3o prestados servi\u00e7os profissionais, \u00e9 importante que um contratante possa demonstrar um certo grau de autonomia na forma como realiza um projeto. Os trabalhadores por conta de outrem est\u00e3o normalmente sob a supervis\u00e3o e o controlo diretos dos seus empregadores, mas os verdadeiros trabalhadores independentes ter\u00e3o mais influ\u00eancia sobre a forma como realizam o trabalho para o qual foram contratados.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"2\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Servi\u00e7o pessoal \/ Substitui\u00e7\u00e3o<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The right to provide a substitute in a contractual <a href=\"https:\/\/rfblegal.co.uk\/pt\/base-de-conhecimentos\/preciso-de-um-acordo-de-acionistas\/\">agreement<\/a> has long been deemed to be an important factor when demonstrating that a contract assignment falls outside the scope of IR35. An employee provides his\/her personal services to an employer, whereas a business would provide its services to a client, rather than the exclusive services of an individual. As a result, all professionally drawn-up \u2018IR35 friendly\u2019 contracts will include a substitution clause.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"3\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Mutualidade das obriga\u00e7\u00f5es<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Existe uma reciprocidade de obriga\u00e7\u00f5es quando uma entidade patronal espera que um trabalhador efectue um trabalho quando lhe \u00e9 pedido e o trabalhador espera que lhe seja dado trabalho numa base constante. No caso dos trabalhadores independentes, estes esperam que um cliente os contrate para realizar uma tarefa espec\u00edfica, sem qualquer expetativa de que lhes seja prestado mais trabalho ap\u00f3s o termo da tarefa inicial.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><u>O que \u00e9 que isto significa para o estatuto de um indiv\u00edduo na legisla\u00e7\u00e3o laboral?<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">O facto de uma pessoa estar abrangida pelo IR35 n\u00e3o significa necessariamente que seja um trabalhador por conta de outrem ao abrigo das regras do direito do trabalho.
