The requirement for Locum Vet jobs since the UK left the EU on the 1st January 2021 has exploded. A large percentage of the global veterinary contingent was already strained due to Covid making locums return home. Mainly to be with family and friends, or for fear of getting ill while living in temporary practice accommodation.

You may be aware of the changes to the Off-Payroll Regulations, known as IR35, that come into effect in April 2021. The changes will have a significant impact on the way in which locums and contractors are paid and taxed. From April 6th 2021 HMRC is changing the off-payroll rules (IR35) if you are a client receiving services from a worker through their intermediary. For example, locums working through their own Ltd Companies or PSC’s.
