Is there a timeline of regulation changes available to show that it was government that caused agencies and direct clients to require self employed to operate via a PSC rather than the contractor choosing to use a PSC for tax purposes?
i.e. Agency have long since required contractors to use PSC Ltd or umbrella. What caused that?
As someone seeking contract work rather than employment, if forced to use a Ltd then it is logical to use the accounting practices available such as income split between PAYE and dividends.
So there should be an amnesty on those pushed down the route that the government now considers tax avoidance and a clear route of operating put in place which allows true self employed to contract without a Ltd based on the nature of the contract that is agreed between client and contractor.
