Contractor Corner Accounting Ltd. was recreated, rebranded, and relaunched in 2019 specifically to help contractors, agencies and end-user clients with the expected changes to IR35 in the Private Sector. When HMRC decided to widen the scope of the way IR35 currently controls work in the public sector, panic hit the whole market leaving everybody upset and confused.

Contractor registration can be done simply and securely via our portal and at the worker’s own convenience.

We don't believe that our contractors should have to spend time chasing payments and timesheets. That's our job and, if we're late with a payment, and it's our fault, the contractor doesn't pay a fee.
