HMRC has incorporated guidance on ‘supervision, direction or control’ for the purposes of the revised agency legislation, which has effect from 6 April 2014, into its Employment status manual at ESM2029 onwards. This follows the draft version published in March.

The guidance refers to and quotes from the key decisions – Ready Mixed Concrete [1968] 2 QB 497; Autoclenz [2009] EWCA Civ 1046; Talentcore [2011] UKUT 423; and Serpol [2011] UKFTT 174 – and applies those to the agency legislation. The guidance also contains fictional examples which illustrate the tests and cover a wide range of occupations.
