Tbf, demonstrating to your client that your company is a legitimate business only works when client a) gives a tulip and b) wants to be educated.
Why does anyone expect companies to strive for outside gigs when they can be risk free and define a gig as inside? It's not in their interest, there will always be people willing to take inside roles ( mony > no money after all ).
Only way things will change will be if IR35 is repealedComment

They also have InfoSys onsite and getting a resource is risk free from a tax perspective. So they took the path of least resistance, permies and InfoSys staff only.Comment

At my current client they have banned ltd company contractors. They only take contractors through umbrella company. I think many other large companies and banks have done the same.Comment

Originally posted by DimPrawn View PostI would imagine most large companies have either forced all roles inside or forced permiedom.

Interesting, though I doubt that's the case. All companies I've worked at drive down the margins on all suppliers.I'm alright JackComment

Originally posted by DimPrawn View PostWhere I work there is a contract inplace for people with InfoSys. They cannot choose another bodyshop on whim, as InfoSys are the sole supplier of external resources. To think a huge company works otherwise is naive and shows you know little about how business operates.
Good you might be working for a completely incompetent company that can't control costs, in which case you should get out as soon as you can.I'm alright JackComment
