More detail
"Outside IR35" refers to a situation where an individual providing services through an intermediary, such as a personal service company (PSC), is not considered a deemed employee for tax purposes according to the UK's IR35 legislation.
The contractor can be paid gross, and then they are in full control of the monies earned, like any other company. The contractor is responsible for assessing and paying corporation tax due, alongside any taxes they may personally owe if they receive dividends from the company.
