The thoughts of one accountant is somewhat different from a trade body which purports to represent 4.5million people, though.

True, but it'd be nice for them to ask an actual contractor some time.

My original concern was that IPSE wanted to float the idea of an FLC as a way of gathering a larger membership i.e the self-employed and hadn't fully appreciated that there would be implications if BoS were classified by HMRC as the same. It was all about appealing to a wider audience and therefore having a louder voice.

Now it turns out that this is someone else's idea of how all non-employees should operate and this is turning into damage limitation. The proposals by Philip Ross and the other one on CW that hit my inbox are absolutely NOT what I want.

There's a big difference between damage limitation and saying "this is what our members want" though.

Yeah but I can understand that by taking a negative stance for the start they risk the same alienation from Gov that we're getting from the BoD for exactly the same reason. i.e. We've given this a lot of thought so either present a better idea or shut your pie-hole.

I cannot work out who thought of it first, IPSE or Gummint. I know who my money is on.
