Why we MUST ditch our lazy attitude to finding work through agents and agencies

[LisaContractorUmbrella]

New lie forced employment costs on almost every employer and Agency. Large companies realised they could force people to pay to work by making them incorporate and work self employed.

Instead of finding new ways to tax people they should look for ways to stop employers screwing the vulnerable. With the exception of a few posters on here I wouldn't count us as 'vulnerable'.

As for IR35 I'm all for an employees & 80/20 rule to start selection then follow with some concrete tests e.g. significant expenses,premises, staff , advertising, creation of product, liabilities etc.

Couldn't agree more and if the T&S proposals go through as they are then the vulnerable are going to be further screwed and I wonder if it will screw them to a point that they'll decide it's not in their interests to keep on working

Didn't read it. I pay my accountant to tell me the most tax-efficient way of going through life.

Look on the bright side people. When you all have to go permie, think of the 2k a year you'll save in Accountancy fees.
