        Always a good thing for a small business owner.

        However I've realised that you have probably been hit by IR35 in the public sector?

          No I've not.

            Some rates have skyrocketed in the PS.

                So much for the 1% pay freeze in the public sector.
                Maybe tomorrow, I'll want to settle down. Until tomorrow, I'll just keep moving on.

                  Not my choice really, but they are competing with IB rates now, i.e. the same PS rate as previously + a big chunk extra for being inside IR35.

                  i.e. old rate £450, new rate £600+

                    Isn't that all the Tories are doing now? Are they afraid of him? Is he the big bad bogeyman? Where is the mention of the Labour party?
                    Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.

                      If Corbyn wins he wants to make all of the people who work for a company, employees of that company. Should this happen, I'll be caught by IR35 as will the vast majority of us I presume. I stand to lose around £30-40k a year. I cannot afford to do that, so I won't be voting for him.

                      However, what I'd really like to see is him take this further. Make us REAL employees instead, if we are caught by IR35, then we don't pay the employers NI, we get holiday and sick pay and we get benefits too.

                      Will this be the new way forward for us if he wins? Chasing benefits from our "employers" ?
                      Where did he say that ? Add a link to your post with some evidence.
