From 6th April 2021 IR35 off-payroll working legislation will be rolled out to the private sector by HMRC, this means that the John Lewis Partnership will no longer be engaging freelancers on a self-employed basis or via a personal service company.

The Partnership have appointed giant as our chosen solution and umbrella service provider to manage payrolling for our Freelancer community. In working with giant, all payments will be subject to PAYE deductions at source and the required payments made directly to HMRC, ensuring compliance in accordance with HMRC’s off payroll legislation.
