Serves all those tax avoiding scumbags right for avoiding IR35 and all the tax that was due for the last 10 years.
I hope everyone still has the money + interest, or they could be in a spot of bother.

If they want us to pay they need to give us more carrot and less stick IMO.Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave JohnsonComment

I run my business they way I feel is correct. Have I been negligent doing so? No - my contracts are outside of IR35 to the best of my knowledge and to the knowledge of other external professional (lol) advisors.
(IMHO) - If the tax man decides otherwise I suppose a judge would have to decide and Hector would have to prove that I acted negligently as a director. Much harder to prove than just force his opinion on me about a contract or two.
(IMHO) - Hector is trying to collect this revenue by fear and slight of hand, like a lot of the tactics with dubious taxation.
By the way - what has happened in the high profile cases recently Dragonfly and Kingfisher etc?Comment

Consider yourself lucky! Whilst working for Capgemini on the HMRC account, I showed my contract to 2 inspectors in 2 different offices, one said I was OK,the other said I wasn't.
If they cannot decide, how the hell can I?/accountant/ agency?Who has time? Who has time? But then if we do not ever take time, how can we ever have time?Comment

Exempt from Employers NI?
I am no longer contracting anymore, and haven't run a company for a long time. My last contract was through an IoM scheme (no comments please).
Anyway, out of interest would people accept being under PAYE if you didn't have to pay employers NI? If I'm right, that would give an extra 12% net.
I'm not saying it would even be possible to frame legislation to exclude certain groups from Employers NI, but if it were then it could be a reasonable compromise.Comment

If HMRC want to tax me as an employee and an employer then HMRC should provide me with these perks.Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous?
