Atholl House Productions Ltd v Revenue & Customs [2019] UKFTT 242

Engagement of BBC presenter via service company did not fall within IR35

This case concerns an appeal by Atholl House Productions against determinations that IR35 applied to a presenter. Atholl House was the personal service company of Ms Adams.

Ms Adams performed services for the BBC and other media organisations. She had been a freelance journalist since the mid-1990s. Her work other than for the BBC was wide and diverse and she had also worked extensively in the corporate sector. She has a significant social media profile and has written two books.
