Off-payroll working: penalties for non-compliance from April 2022
Organisations applying the off-payroll working rules incorrectly could be charged penalties by HMRC of up to 100% of the unpaid tax for inaccuracies from 6 April 2022.
Organisations must act now to assess working processes and check they are applying the rules correctly to minimise exposure to penalties and reputational risk.
In a briefing dated 15 February 2021, HMRC set out how it will intervene if it suspects non-compliance with the off-payroll working rules. It includes a commitment not to charge penalties for inaccuracies in the first 12 months of the off-payroll working rules coming into effect, unless there is evidence of deliberate non-compliance.
