Caroline Harwood

I lead the National Employment Tax team for BDO, with over 25 years' experience specialising in all aspects of employment taxes. My clients range from entrepreneurial fast-growing businesses to international household names, as well as charities and not-for-profit organisations.

My focus spans all aspects of employment taxes, in particular the off-payroll working rules (IR35), employment status for tax, termination and settlement payments, employment tax implications of agile working arrangements, management team advice on transactions, employee benefit reviews and PAYE and NIC compliance and reporting, including the transition to payrolling benefits in kind.

I'm a regular contributor to industry and national press, writing articles on employment tax and incentives issues, and I present widely at both industry and client events.
