    Followed by waffle, waffle, we will implement Taylor.
    It doesn't state that it will implement Taylor in full there is some get out there - if necessary (but you are right to say that it will be implemented). The question really is what will be implemented at the same time and I do expect IR35 to be implemented across the private sector as part of the change...
    merely at clientco for the entertainment

      Correct. Ultimately, in a few years time, you'll see the complete abolishment of one man/one client at a time LTD's and every contractor, private or public sector client, will be 'on the payroll' in terms of taxation. The 'party of small business' will see to that.
      When freedom comes along, don't PISH in the water supply.....

        I was hoping to eek out a living doing this for another 5 years. I think even that is optimistic now....

          Yes, seems likely. Made even more likely by 90%+ of commentators saying that it's going to happen, i.e. it won't be a surprise. It depends what they do with a statutory definition of self-employment though. If they implement one, it won't be a roll out of the IR35 PS rules per se, but clients determining whether the statutory definition applies (though could take a phased approach though).

            Having read the manifesto, I thought it was coming, it was hinted at but it never materialised in the previous pages.

            ...and then....whammo!

            "Starting with the UK Government’s arm’s-length bodies, we will start
            moving significant numbers of UK Government civil servants and other public servants out
            of London and the south-east to cities around the UK. "

                So like every government has tried before.

                Then they find they can't get the specialist staff including IT staff to go to live in Newcastle or where ever, and also struggle to get contractors.

                  No longer a problem though, is it. When they live in Mumbai, Newcastle doesn't seem that bad.

                    Plus moving jobs and investment out to the regions that really need it, reducing somewhat pressure on housing and services in London. A good thing, if it happens.

                      At the end

                      If you made it to the end of the document, a few pages on 'digital'.
                      They're going to be regulating the internet - will be interesting to watch.
