Just thinking about the post above suggesting a poll to gauge how many people are inside/outside IR35, has anyone seen any national data on this from HMRC or any other body?

Perhaps Inside IR35 people also look, data-wise, exactly the same as ordinary employees.
The self-selecting surveys from IPSE, QDOS and co won't help, almost no one I work with has heard of them.⭐️ Gold Star ContractorComment

But it is not say 3:1 one way or the other, it seems much closer matched at the moment.Last edited by Fraidycat; 27 April 2023, 16:44.Comment

Rough estimate from the job boards, there are 3 outside contracts for every 2 inside ones. That is based on the what the adverts says. But given that many Inside roles hide the fact in the advert, while Outside roles promote it, i would say the reality is probably closer to 1:1 at the moment, maybe even 2:3 the other way.

Purely based on ads I have seen in Jobserve it is about 50-50. It quite possibly varies from sector to sector though, for example banking seems to be risk adverse.
I have yet to have an Inside contract, although that is mainly luck of the draw aided by not working in finance and having gone through the same couple of boutique agents for a few years.Comment

Yes, although they tend to be large companies. A smaller outfit having fewer contractors might have the same relative risk.Comment
