In June 2008, HMRC published a new factsheet on employment status for the benefit of workers.  This has now been complemented by a fact sheet for employers.  The new factsheet replaces the old IR56 booklet but is much shorter, on the assumption that employers will initially have used the online Employment Status Indicator (ESI) tool to check the employment status of a particular worker.

Further information:
Employment Status
Factsheet ES/FS1 - Employed or self-employed for tax and National Insurance contributions
Factsheet ES/FS2 - Are your workers employed or self-employed for tax and National Insurance contributions?
