On MP, no, I haven’t written yet. I was (and still am) chasing an answer through another route. But months and got nowhere so far and not for lack of trying. Which is why wondering what next step is, to who, and if it should be co-ordinated. A letter to MP’s would be more powerful if either from a body of some type (IPSE?) or a group of people was my thinking.
Really, the best thing you can do is to write to your MP. This is precisely the sort of constituency casework that MPs engage with, day to day, so that really is your best avenue.
Forget about IPSE or other membership organisations or some sort of coordinated effort (for now) because organisations like IPSE are ships - they take too long to turn and they often crash into the dock.Comment

If IPSE are talking about double taxation then (once again) they haven't got the first clue what the issue is..
Mind you, that's obvious from the utter crap they posted about umbrellas following their last meetup see February’s Member Meet-Up: A call for views on regulating the umbrella market | IPSE
1) Its not a surprise that some umbrellas charge extra to process SIPP payments. The ones that do are usually £30 cheaper than the ones that process SIPP payments within their fees. 30 seconds of research would tell you that
2) some SIPP providers won't deal with umbrella firms (because their legal advice says it needs to be directors) and some umbrellas won't deal with SIPP providers who insist on direct debits.
3) training costs - again do some research and you would know that what they are asking for just isn't legally possible...
I could come up with a whole set of issues regarding umbrellas and none of the items IPSE care about would feature in the top 10....
As far as I can make out, their concept of "double taxation" is the fee payer having to cough to HMRC the taxes now due from a corrected wrong assessment while not repaying the taxes already paid by the contractor believing they were outside IR35. If so, that is really the other side of the transfer of liability argument.
Both, imvho, need addressing.Blog? What blog...?Comment

If the contractor's company ends up repaying the agency - the company will run a loss for that period which would be reflected in a future corporation tax bill
If the contractor doesn't end up paying the tax then the tax paid will be correct at a company level but wrong on a personal level (depending on how that plays out may or may not impact the contractor personally - there are multiple options here so I'm not running through all of them).
If that's the IPSE's concern then they are even more clueless than they used to be.merely at clientco for the entertainmentComment
