Philip Hammond and Contracting

Snippets of his speech to the Tory Party

An interesting read that he tried to abolish IR35. Of course, he is in a different ball game now however it looks positive.

Are you still banging on about this, its over, done, get over it and move on, HTHBIDI.

[ContractorHardman]

Personally, I hope he scraps the IR35 crap. Hammond is supposedly Pro-contractor.

Dividend tax to stay the same
Corporation Tax Reduced

I mean, there's always the possibility it will get overlooked but if it does I'd expect a correction sharpish.

When I wrote that, I predicted that however after listening to the first few minutes he is now talking about Self Employment as eroding the Tax revenues. So... I doubt anything will change
