A contract for services between an independent contractor (a self-employed individual) and a client company for the provision of consultancy services. This contract is intended for use by clients when they are engaging a consultant to provide professional services and where the engagement will not be deemed employment for the purposes of the IR35 or off-payroll working rules because the consultant will not be providing their services via an intermediary.
