What is the IR35 App?
The IR35 App has been designed as a paperless tool for businesses caught within Off Payroll Working. It helps navigate and demonstrate compliance with the complex rules governing IR35.
It guides you through the factors you need to consider with every engagement. It then produces an assessment status indicator and the appropriate documentation to support and demonstrate the decision-making process.
Watch our videoWhat is different about the IR35 App?
Unlike tools available elsewhere, the documents produced by the IR35 App provide bespoke supporting evidence of the working relationship specific to each engagement. This evidence also links to the decision provided by the HMRC Check Employment Status Tool (CEST).
The combination of the IR35 App output and CEST decision provides your business with the strongest possible defence against any contract challenges by HMRC.
Incorrect decisions about deemed employment status are ultimately your responsibility. Mistakes can be costly, both financially and reputationally. The IR35 App is an essential tool to help protect your business and give you peace of mind.
The IR35 App is more than a simple, ‘off the page’ solution. By dealing with us in person, you know that you are getting individual and expert support to help you overcome the complexities of IR35.

Fixed monthly fee to match the frequency of your contract checking needs
IR35App has been developed to deliver the same level of Platinum service for all. However, we recognise that businesses with IR35 and Off Payroll Working obligations will vary in size and complexity.
We always recommend clients have unlimited use of the IR35App, as this avoids the need for constant monitoring and review under a pay per use approach.
Our fees for unlimited use are competitive and will be dependent on client structure and their Off Payroll Working needs.
However, some clients may like not this approach and for these, fees could start from £3,500 plus VAT per annum for up to 25 engagements.
Easy to follow web based assessment tool.
IR35App has been developed by IESL’s team of experts, including Steve Gretton a former HMRC Employment Status Inspector – this level of expertise is unlikely to be rivalled.
IR35App is paperless and uses electronic signatures by all parties.
IR35App assesses the engagement of each Off Payroll Worker. Each assessment is compiled based upon a decision making algorithm, which uses existing tax case law and HMRC guidance.
IR35App generates a risk output at each stage with an overall assessment conclusion.
