Off-payroll describes payments that are for work but are made through ways other than a salary. For example, Self-employed people count as Off-payroll
Off-payroll is a term used to describe payments for work that are different from a salary. For example, Self-employed individuals are classed as Off-payroll as they are paid with an Invoice.
There are rules such as IR35 that allows HMRC to crackdown on Off-payroll workers that should be classified as Employees. Workers choose to disguise their employment status as Self-Employed individuals pay less National Insurance contributions than Employees.
