Guilty until proved innocent

If someone is caught by IR35, will there be any action on the client and the agency the contractor was engaged with ?

No Next!

I can't see HMRC coming after people possibly caught by IR35 in the same blanket manner; it's not just IT contractors and the like that work in this way but plenty of managers and company directors AKA traditional Tories.

It kicked off a few years ago as it was "revealed" in the press that lots of public sector managers were working in this way, e.g. in the BBC etc. which ruffled feathers as obviously they're taxpayer funded. Not so the private sector.

I think this is just a shot above the bows for people considering these agressive schemes.. "We'll come after you at any point in the future.."

Total bollux.

Using scare tactics a lot of people just pay up. Now they have APN and can take money direct from your account. A lot of people will just fold under the pressure.

HMRC are getting more aggressive and they need to be stopped.

How would that happen if vast majority of people had their money spent already?

What will have to happen is bi-partisan bill quickly passed called The Involuntary Organ Donations Act 2015.

I thought client avoiding NI & PAYE by taking contractor, should get the attention of hmrc as much the contractor who was caught by IR35.
