The government has published a response to its 2018 consultation on employment status that was carried out jointly by BEIS, HMT and HMRC in response to the Taylor review.
The government states that ‘employment status is at the core of both employment law and the tax system’ and it is committed to ‘ensuring the UK’s employment and tax regulatory frameworks deliver a labour market that is fair, flexible and keeps pace with the needs of modern workplaces’.
The response says that ‘now is not the right time to overhaul the employment status frameworks for rights and for tax', but says the government is 'delivering greater clarity ... for individuals and employers by publishing guidance for status and working time for minimum wage purposes’.
