So here we are. Possibly the most badly thought out, badly managed legislation ever implemented by HMRC (even including the initial IR35 all those years ago). Also, potentially one of the most catastrophic for the industry.
We've widespread confusion, and apathy across the board from clients, agencies, and contractors. No-one seems to know how its going to work.
And what exactly are IPSE doing about the situation? Not a lot from what I can see. One guide on their website - which wasn't even that complete and had inaccuracies int it (I could have done better myself).
Seriously, does anyone outside the contract industry know who IPSE are? We've all heard about government projects being delayed because of mass walkouts but no-one outside the industry knows yet. Why aren't IPSE shouting this from the rooftops? They should be on news at 9 talking about this!
They should be ripping the place up at the moment. All I can see though is attendance at a few HMRC meetings and everyone being friendly to each other. Time to rattle the cage if you ask me.
