However, the private sector won't react in the same way. For example, they won't be keen on using an HMRC tool that has no basis in law. Let's say 30-50% of PS contracts that were previously self-assessed as outside are now inside (that seems to be the rough percentage). That percentage will be much lower with any rollout to the private sector, because the private sector knows how to trade risk. That is, until they designate self-employment in statute law.

I really, really wouldn't recommend moving into contracting at the moment. You have good experienced people spending months on the bench who previously were walking between contracts and by all accounts the City is in retreat post Brexit.
Long term a balancing out of the sectors will be a good thing but it will be extremely painful until then.Comment
