IR35 and day rate

[psychocandy]

Not when they can get offshore resources to come onshore for under current contractor rates now

But you in the public sector will still soon have major competition as the cream from the private sector look to move over and replace to maintain there rates

Always been the case since Day 1 though for contracting...

Well in April 2017 my PS client thought that and all the contractors left leaving them right up the creek.

They weren't happy but had to hike rates by 35%.

OK. Maybe easier with PS money to do this but I'd argue that private companies are going to have no choice either.

Nonsense, because they won’t be competing with another, much larger, sector where more lenient rules apply. The same incentives will apply everywhere, which will be to create more FTCs for BoS roles and for a dramatic cut in rates in those PS roles that saw an uplift. What are you going to threaten? To go permie?
