    As I pointed out when the expenses rules were implemented back in 2016.

      People have been calling the end to contracting since we had to stop being freelancers and form ltd's in 197x (can't remember exactly )

        I don't think it is over but it has definitely changed. I spent several years on and off leaving home in the middle of the night on Monday, staying near the client site then coming home Friday evening. Unless someone is willing too pay me stupid money that isn't economically worth doing anymore.

        Even worse is we are beginning to see low paid jobs, by industry standards, becoming Inside IR35 when they should be permanent or FTC due to employers/clients (the difference becomes blurred at this stage) wanting to save in Employer NI contributions.

          Problem is it gets a bit drowned out by contractors complaining about paying more tax.

                Ditto with me - I can also advise as I have interviewed people coming into my organisation and other places.
                Are you a Java software engineer type person? I went perm in 2021, but I was contracting before that for a while in two stints since 2003.
