IR35 first maybe second hand experience !?

Yes. About 1300 of them. In all but three cases, they won.

**MarillionFan** · 23 October 2006, 12:53

Can you name these 1300 please.

**rootsnall** · 23 October 2006, 12:59

One or two names will do !?

I know a couple of contractors who got investigated maybe 4 years ago but nobody since. The impression I get is the IR have given in for now and will be writing some new rules before they try to claw back tax again. Could be wrong though ?

I know someone who was, and got a whopping great bill. Didnt try to fight - so not in the stats

I got investigated for 5 contracts and won. Took well over 3 years though....

Lockhouse, how did you fight it ? Were you part of an insurance scheme ?

Easy really. I joined the PCG.

I'm in PCG, I am just doing my annual safety check on IR35 issues, you have reassured me enough for this year. The cases I know about all took years and were then cleared, I haven't heard of any new investigations for a good while and was just checking if anybody was currently suffering.
