Overview

Contractors are under pressure as never before in terms of their tax arrangements.

Contractors can either adopt an unincorporated form or incorporate their businesses.

Incorporated businesses potentially fall foul of the so-called IR35 rules that were implemented in 2000.

New rules for contractors in the public sector from April 2017 have had a major impact on the contractor community and they are likely to spread to the private sector.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
