What the phrase means
IR35 careers are contract careers.
IR35 careers are UK contract roles where the off-payroll working rules may affect the engagement. IR35 is not a profession or job category. It is a tax status question that can apply across technology, engineering, finance, delivery, change and other specialist careers.
A role may be advertised as Inside IR35, Outside IR35 or without enough evidence to confirm either. IR35Careers preserves the status stated by the source and keeps unclear listings visibly unconfirmed.
