Updates to the CEST Tool landing page
06 May 2021
The changes made relate to the legislative changes to the off-payroll working rules, which were effective from 6 April 2021. HMRC has confirmed that the CEST tool itself has not been amended, and the underlying logic of the tool remains unchanged.
There is a link to HMRC’s CEST aggregate data, which provides details of the usage of the tool following the launch of the enhanced version, that was made available in November 2019.
The amendments to the landing page were made as a direct result of customer feedback, which suggested that further content needed to be added to streamline the user journey, and that there needed to be clearer signposts to existing guidance.
