Kick-Off fee: Contractor ID Audit, Discovery, Set Up and Initial Assessments
The CoComply Kick-Off process involves examining your current processes and assessments, conducting detailed reviews of IR35 contracts, categorising roles, analysing the supply chain to ensure all contractors are captured, and carrying out initial assessments. We provide policy and process advice and documentation. This comprehensive approach ensures a robust foundation for seamless and sustained compliance. If you have already undertaken a professional IR35 audit, speak to us so we can tailor the initial programme of work accordingly. In some instances, your previous assessment process may assist in streamlining the initial work to be undertaken. Following the Kick-Off activities, the monthly subscription charge applies for ongoing services.
This cost-effective monthly subscription service offers ample time and capacity to ensure your IR35 obligations are met on an ongoing basis. Choose between a 20-minute virtual in-person IR35 assessment session or a swift, AI-powered online assessment form. CoComply is committed to achieving the most desirable outcome for our clients and will support you in restructuring roles to achieve a strong IR35 determination. We collaborate closely with your agency partners and third-party suppliers to ensure seamless results and alignment. Proactive maintenance checks, Statement of Work (SoW) reviews, and expert appeal handling are all part of our service. Rest assured, we provide compliant documentation for each step, and our services are fully indemnified, ensuring reduced risk alongside continuous and robust compliance.
On-Demand IR35 Consultancy and Supply Chain Support
Gain immediate access to an IR35 expert when you need them. Use your inclusive hours to seek expert guidance on worker classification from restructuring roles with stakeholders / line managers to liaising with recruitment agencies. IR35 can present complex challenges within the supply chain, such as identifying the actual end client responsible for IR35 determinations. To address these complexities, we extend our support to your supply chain, joining calls with consultancies or other labour suppliers, to collaboratively ensure that the entire supply chain is IR35 compliant for everyone's benefit.
IR35 Contract Reviews, Policy and Process Updates
In IR35 compliance, the contract is king. Our role is to ensure your contracts accurately mirror the actual working practices. We provide detailed mark-ups to highlight necessary adjustments. This process is primarily conducted during the initial audit. However, it's common for new contracts to emerge. Use your inclusive time with us to review any additional contracts that arise, ensuring ongoing compliance. IR35 legislation is fluid, and we review and keep policies updated in line with changes and developments, and ensure your processes continue to reflect efficient and accurate compliance.
Inclusive Training Portal Access
Your package includes free access to our training portal or regular group training sessions for your contractors and key stakeholders. This resource is designed to enhance their understanding of IR35 and ensure awareness of legal responsibilities. Engaging in this training is a key step towards advancing the organisational maturity of your company. No time is deducted from your allocation for training access or attendance.
Dedicated Account Manager
At the heart of our IR35 services is your Dedicated Account Manager, a single point of contact committed to understanding and supporting your unique needs. They're not just an expert in IR35 compliance; they're an extension of your team. From coordinating detailed contract reviews to facilitating on-demand consultancy and supply chain collaborations, your account manager ensures every aspect of IR35 compliance is handled with precision. They initiate reassessments, streamline communication, manage your inclusive hours effectively, and ensure that your experience with us is as seamless and personalised as possible. With their proactive approach and deep expertise, your account manager is instrumental in navigating the complexities of IR35, keeping you assured of compliance and well-informed every step of the way.
Dedicated query line
Experience the convenience our clients love. We establish a dedicated query line for all your team and contractors, ensuring any IR35-related questions are swiftly directed to us for rapid responses. Agreeing on the process with you upfront, we make it easy to redirect all IR35 queries away from your inbox, streamlining your communications. Queries are allocated on a minimum time per query.
HMRC Ready Management Information Report
Stay ahead with our periodically generated reports, typically every six months, which compiles all the crucial information HMRC might request from you. This proactive approach puts you a step ahead of HMRC and enables you to respond swiftly and confidently to HMRC inquiries, well within their set deadlines. Additionally, our reports highlight key metrics such as the Risk Averted and Tax Saved per engagement, providing a clear view of the return on investment you gain through partnering with CoComply. These insights not only keep you compliant but also demonstrate the tangible value of our services to you and your company board.
Contractor ID Audit
Navigating the complexities of IR35 begins with understanding the scope of contractors within your business, a task often more challenging than it appears. HMRC's definition of a Personal Service Company (PSC) is intricate; for instance, it can include micro-companies with fewer than 10 people. Additionally, the criteria for categorising a service supplier as fully outsourced is not clearly defined by HMRC. Contractors and sole traders can be engaged through various channels, not just HR or Talent departments, but also directly with your business units, often appearing only in finance ledgers or procurement systems (VMS). These multiple channels makes accurately identifying your contractor population a complex and daunting task. CoComply steps in to simplify this with our proprietary methodology and technology. We periodically analyse your supply chain data, ensuring action is taken for every ‘in scope’ contractor and checks are accounted for, keeping you informed and compliant.
Monthly Hours, Quarterly Flexibility
Your monthly hours are flexible, allowing you to pool and use them quarterly as needed, for any of the inclusive services in your package, which are listed and described below. Rest assured that the allocated time per package has been carefully crafted with ample time allocated for you to meet your IR35 obligations, with some extra time thrown in for additional services.

Frequently asked questions
Yes, similar rules apply to sole traders; therefore, we also assess their status.
Yes, the packages have been carefully crafted to ensure your compliance obligations can be met through the regular assessment of your contractors and sole traders based on your contractor population. Unless there is significant additional work required due to complex cases, you are unlikely to have to budget any overrun time for assessments or the ongoing checks, which we undertake proactively throughout the life of an engagement. We will always try to inform you if we believe you will run over your quarterly allocation, providing you the option to purchase bulk discounted additional hours or increase your subscription tier.
The initial Kick-Off fee covers the time spent in bringing your compliance up to date. This involves discovery and set-up time and sessions, identifying all your 'in-scope' population, working practices and contractor audit, considering previous determinations and implementing a process for ensuring IR35 compliance is maintained.
1 x IR35 Assessment will typically take 20-30 minutes. We have factored this into the service offerings that will offer enough time to undergo reassessments each quarter while utilising our additional service elements.
Yes, your dedicated hours can be combined and used over the quarter. For example the 'Essentials' plan offers 2 hours per month or 6 hours per quarter.
No, we suggest that each subscription package is best for organisations with a certain number of contractors, but this is suggestive only. We have customers with smaller populations of contractors on larger packages. However, it is more cost effective to move up to the higher package than it is to remain on a lower package if you are incurring over-run costs.
Yes. This is a fundamental part of the service. You decide what services your business needs as and when.
