HMRC Contractors

The request was partially successful.

Dear HM Revenue and Customs,

Under Freedom of Information, I would like to know:

Since the IR35 "off payroll" rules change in the Public Sector (April 2017):

- How many "inside IR35" contractors have HMRC hired for any function or duration?
- How many "outside IR35" contractors have HMRC hired for any function or duration?
- What is a typical total duration for a contractor inside IR35?
- What is a typical total duration for a contractor outside IR35?
- What is a typical rate for inside IR35 contractors?
- What is a typical rate for outside IR35 contractors?

For durations, please include total tenure, that is initial contract and extensions. For rates, I'm happy to see a small range (eg. £300-400). I'm not looking for mathematically perfect measures here - just a reasonably accurate estimation is enough.

Yours faithfully,

Ralph Bolton

Thank you for your communication of 15th January which has been passed to
HMRC's Freedom of Information Team.

We have allocated the above reference which you should quote if you need
to contact us.
