        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.

            Not much given the huge debt and lack of prospects that Brexit has brought.
            Hard Brexit now!

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

                  Are we really that optimistic to think the government will reduce CT without a corresponding increase in the dividend tax?

                  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
