What is a consultancy agreement?

A consultancy agreement is a legal agreement between a company and a consultant, setting out the terms of their working relationship. This will typically include details such as the scope of the consultant’s work, their responsibilities, and the compensation they will receive.

Why do you need a consultancy agreement?

It is particularly important for many reasons, including those relating to tax, that your employment relationship is accurately recorded as a consultancy agreement.
