Originally posted by jamesbrown View PostI don’t think you can read anything into that response. It’s simply the Treasury line. It’s what all constituency MPs from the governing party will ask for when replying on technical matters about which they know feck all. Standard practice. Very few will actually write a considered response. You would’ve got a similar response in the past too. That said, it was always a question of when, and not if, and it has been telegraphed in the press, so there must be a reasonable chance that it will come in the AB.
TBH, I don't think writing to MP's is the way to tackle this at all, they simply do not grasp the nuances.Comment

Most UK businesses ate not high margin enough to do it, the tax system does not encourage employment in the first placeComment

Just an FYI Vince Cable was in parliament yesterday fighting the cause specifically mentioned IR35. Sounds like someone's been lobbying for us. Bit of a scroll but he's at least respected
