Issuing a status determination statement (SDS)

As set out in the Off payroll working (IR35) ― public sector, large and medium clients ― overview guidance note, a client is required as part of the off-payroll working for large / public clients rules to issue a status determination statement (SDS) for all relevant contracts to indicate whether they are inside or outside the rules.
