Job motivation: how the powerful steal from the stupid. -
The key problem for contractors is most of them, me included, are bums on seats and with some clever argument or mainly simply by not being spotted you can get away with it. The arguments for being outside are usually somewhat contrived but enough to convince an inspector or a judge, Every contractor has a substitution clause, but be honest, would it be there if it wasn´t for IR35. The 4 week argument is just one more argument to push a contractor off that knife edge, It is always going to be a nail-biter, unless you really are outside, i.e. work in your own office, fixed price projects etc.I'm alright JackComment

Also there is always the trade off of a good IR35 clause versus commercial protection - often not easy bed fellows.Comment
