As this is a revenue exercise for HMRC I wouldn't be surprised if they have a filtering mechanism in place whereby group 1, i.e. those that know and are prepared for IR35 (PCG membership, qdos insurance, contract reviews, etc), are of even less risk of investigation as HMRC knows it’s chances of success are far lower when compared to picking on group 2
And how does HMRC know that you have had your contracts reviewed, have insurance, PCG membership, etc?
I imagine there are much easier ways to detect likely targets from a simple DB query looking for warning signs.
And ones they don't like eg. the tens of thousands who have used ebt/loan type schemes.
I thought it diplomatic not to mention that. But yes, there was a movement to arrangements hmrc found even less palatable to trg and gain clarity of ones affairs.
