MP calls for IR35 to be abolished to win election - Freelance Informer

Its the looney branch of the Tory party - it's not going to happen..

They can't win the next election.

labour would just reintroduce it. Its not a controversial or unfair legislation for 99% of the country.

Scrapping it would leave a massive hole something will need to fill so need the be careful what you wish for. For decades we wanted IR35 to change, it changed a couple of years ago and not for the better.

Scrap IR35 and make everyone 1 man contractor go PAYE is not a win.

I'd much rather they didn't scrap it.

Why? I and other proper contractors are working outside of it.

Be careful what you wish for, and all that.

On what planet would scrapping a niche tax regulation that few outside of the industry have ever heard of and that overwhelmingly favours the better off (as least as far as the general population would see it/the press would play it) win the Tories the next general election?

Seemingly pro business and low tax is what has made them the most successful political party in the UK...

It's true though. Are you working inside?
