Following the reform of IR35 in April 2021, end clients will have to issue a status determination statement (SDS) before each contract begins. They’re not a legal requirement yet, but they are already being issued by some end clients. This is good news for contractors, because a good SDS can be very useful, giving you information about where you currently stand, and pointing you in the direction of any action you need to take.
From April 2021, end clients who don't class as small private companies will have to assess the IR35 status of any contractors they engage. Some started the process in the run-up to April 2020 and issued status determination statements before the reform was delayed, and some better-informed clients have started assessing now in preparation for April 2021.

Having your own payroll comes with the responsibility of accurately deducting taxes, providing employment rights, keeping up to date with legislation, statutory payments like sick pay and mat leave.
