In the case of George Mantides Ltd v. HMRC [2019] TC07202, a personal services company (the Company) appealed against tax and NIC assessments under the IR35 rules. The First Tier Tribunal (FTT) determined that there were sufficient differences between two engagements for the provision of services for IR35 to apply to one engagement and not the other.

The Company was providing the services of its director, George Mantides, to two hospitals – Royal Berkshire Hospital (Royal) and Medway Maritime Hospital (Medway). At both hospitals, Mr Mantides was a locum urologist. He saw patients according to a rota, ordered and reviewed x-rays, carried out minor surgical procedures and used facilities and equipment provided by the hospitals. Mr Mantides had sufficient expertise to carry out the work with minimal direct supervision and was only required to attend one regular meeting. Both engagements were for a consecutive period of three months, although both were terminated early.
