Don't be left out in the cold by confusing the employment status of your drivers. Current HMRC guidance suggests that it will be ‘very rare’ that a commercial vehicle driver will be genuinely self-employed (regardless of the label given to the relationship) and Traffic Commissioners now scrutinise the arrangements operators have in place for engaging their drivers. So called ‘self-employed’ drivers are a major concern for HMRC and the Traffic Commissioners and can result in serious tax consequences as well as findings of loss of good repute. This week the team discussed:

• self-employed drivers and the implications for operators;
• maintenance issues and Public Inquiries; and
• what operators need to know about certain ESG procurement requirements for entering into contracts with large companies.
