The official "Autumn Statement 2015" AKA "End of Contracting" thread

[BrilloPad]

Guess we will have to wait for the full release to find out what's happening, not surprising we were left out as its not really gonna make the headlines one way or the other, I guess that's why they are trying to shaft us

I bet there will be nothing in the full release. They are just using standard bully/scare tactics.

Did you find that using SKA, that has been funded using tax-payers' money?

What tax payers money?

Bearing in mind the T&S review was published after the summer statement do you think we could be in for a wait until next years summer budget to get the consultation on IR35?

I dont think I can hold out that long

Why do you want him to raise taxes?

Well, I want him to raise taxes in order to provide for a more equitable society, in which the NHS is adequately funded, and assistance is available to the disadvantaged. But I'm given to understand that I'm a bit of an outlier on here

From the detailed document!!

Employment intermediaries and tax relief for travel and subsistence – As confirmed at Summer Budget 2015, the government will legislate to restrict tax relief for travel and subsistence expenses for workers engaged through an employment intermediary, such as an umbrella company or a personal service company. Following consultation, relief will be restricted for individuals working through personal service companies where the intermediaries legislation applies. This change will take effect from 6 April 2016.

Agree to a point, but I think he would have mention if they were taking away ER relief.

That can be in PDF. Something alone the lines of "protecting the C of E tax collections".

Quick scan suggests no IR35 details though.
