November Budget - Stop Public sector IR35 rules coming into the Private sector

[SueEllen]

Lots of people on these boards work for a bank via a PSC have had their contracts reviewed and are outside IR35

Roll forward to April next year, when banks all take the least risky option and convert all roles into IR35 caught

Thus your £10K a month contract suddenly becomes £4.5K net earnings

From that £4.5K you need to pay your expenses (fly up and down from Scotland and stay in London hotels £2.5K from net earnings)

Your accounts - Net earning, that new laptop - ohh from your net earnings again, £150 for a xmas party - not any more. Have a company car lease, out your net earnings again

So after expenses say you are left with £1500 to pay your mortgage, wife and family, holidays etc

So from your £10K a month contract you earn about £10 an hour in your pocket

Don't presume everyone lives in Scotland.

What will happen if IR35 rules are enforced in the bad way they are enforced in the public sector is some companies especially those that aren't near a city or large town will find they cannot get contractors even if they up their rates.

The only contractors companies in cities and large towns will get will be ones who live in commutable distance. In the case of the banks in London this means they will still get those who live in London and the SE.

IR35 already applies to the private sector. And always has.

Do you understand what it is you are speculating will happen?

sent i don't think it can make things worse.

Agreed. However I don't believe it will make anything better. I believe they will be handed to the MP's HMRC overlords who will assign a graduate to writing a standard reply.

I hope I am wrong.
