IR35 Services Agreement Template for Scotland

IR35 off-payroll working rules apply equally in Scotland under UK-wide ITEPA 2003 legislation. Scottish contractors operating through PSCs must ensure their services agreements reflect genuine independence across all three HMRC tests — substitution, control, and mutuality of obligation.

Scotland-specific legal consideration

The off-payroll working rules under Chapter 10 ITEPA 2003 apply in Scotland identically to England and Wales. Scottish engagers must issue a Status Determination Statement with reasonable care, or the tax liability transfers to them.
