    To be fair, it seems like a pretty straightforward change. What missing detail could there be?

      Not as bad as I was expecting:

      Class 4 small increase for self employed.

      Decrease in dividends £5,000 to £2,000 from April 2018. Which is a bit of a blow - but could be worse!

      Delay in MTD for those under the VAT threshold, which is a plus. But it's probably more that the systems aren't ready yet!

      No mention of pushing out public sector rules to private sector, so that's a plus.

      Keeping fingers crossed that's all the news!
      We're all ears!

        You can level the playing field but if one side has all their kit provided for free whilst the other team's players have to pay for the kit themselves, how is that fair?

        Fair taxes for fair employment rights.

          Probably, but it depends on the bigger picture in the Autumn Budget. At some point, they're going to quit farting around the edges and do something "final".

            I'm hoping this bit is retrospective

              Let's see - based on the 2015 the entire T&C consultation.....

                It better be.

                In my view they have got away with peddling this cr*p for too long.

                  Depends what you mean. There may be consultations etc. in the Red Book, but there's little detail in the dividend move that could be deferred to the Red Book.

                      That was a comment about the budget as a whole not the dividend bit....
