Don't forget they snuck in the enabling legislation for IR35 hidden inside the welfare reform bill....never judge a book....

What's this?

[LisaContractorUmbrella]

The relevant sections would seem to be:

"The Bill would allow HMRC to seek an accelerated payment of the NIC's in dispute where a follower notice has been issued and the tax payer had decided not to settle the dispute"

"The Bill would allow accelerated payments also to be soufht from taxpayers involved in schemes that had to be disclosed under the DOTAS rules (as applied to NICs) and under the GAAR (also as applied to NIC's) where the advisory panel had given its opinion that the arrangements were not reasonable"

"The Bill would introduce a TAAR focusing on whether arrangements have been set up to avoid or to pay less NIC's"

[Zero Liability]

Looks like the TAAR is focused on offshore intermediaries/employment intermediaries promoting false self employment.
