Playing devils advocate with that >50% shout, think they have something similar in Oz.
I would settle for 25% expenses off the top (no questions asked - like the 5% now) and cough on the rest.
Permie benefits must be worth an additional 30-50% of salary so still a good deal for HMRC point of view and I get to sleep at night...

This is now being reported from BBC News on the annoucement of the new office for Tax Simplification.

BBC News - Tax system 'to be simplified to encourage investment'

"The "spaghetti bowl" of UK tax law is to be simplified to cut the burden on business and attract foreign investment, George Osborne has said."

It specifically mentions IR35 as being one of the first of two reviews:

"The new body will initially conduct two reviews - streamlining 400 tax reliefs, allowances and exemptions and simplifying the tax system for small businesses, including a simpler alternative to the controversial IR35 code."
