Wasnt just umbrella's though. Thought he said Agencies, umbrella's and intermediaries ie PSC's.

He did, you are right. Umbrellas just lept out at me.

Young people of working age that stay, deserve everything they get. Instead of reading the DailyMail and voting LibLabCon they should be all over these websites:

Emigrate to Australia - Move to Australia - Australian Visa Bureau
http://www.immigration.govt.nz/
Determine your eligibility—Immigrate to Canada

Australia? That's a bit 20th century isn't it.

Try Mars - That's where the action will be in 40 years, plus the settlers there will have more chance of surviving WW3 if that ever breaks out.

WTF is going on with Manchester? Has it been made independent just for tulips and giggles?

Corporation tax to be cut to 20%.

Class 2 NI to be abolished.

Changes announced all in one go to Entrepreneurs Tax Relief and claiming of subsidy and travel. The latter part is as predicted targeted at "Umbrella companies and agencies, not the genuine self-employed".

It will be interesting to see the real detail in this.

The battle of Agincourt is, of course, celebrated by Shakespeare as a victory secured by a 'band of brothers'," he says. Not something the party opposite can hope for.

2.79 Employment Intermediaries: travel and subsistence (umbrella companies) – The
government will consult on detailed proposals to restrict tax relief for travel and subsistence
for workers engaged through an employment intermediary, such as an umbrella company or
a personal service company, and under the supervision, direction and control of the end user.
This follows a discussion paper published shortly after Autumn Statement 2014 on employment
intermediaries and travel and subsistence relief. The changes will take effect from 6 April
2016 and will be legislated for in a future Finance Bill. The government wants employment
intermediaries to provide workers with greater transparency on how they are employed and
what they are being paid. The Department of Business, Innovation and Skills will consult on
these proposals on transparency later this year.
