Page not found? If they need a contractor to fix that at least there will be a couple kicking around in London.

It is not a R35 protest, it is an IR35 protest.

I bet it won't be covered on the main news, not the BBC anyway.

Sorry invoicing is more important

Is it tax deductible ?

You might be surprised - A lot of senior BBC bods also contract there through limited companies.

After all, wasn't it the former BBC DG, John Birt, and his senior colleagues whose contract arrangement started the whole IR35 kerfuffle back in the 1990s?

It certainly kicked up a fuss...

Birt's promotion to Director-General in 1992 caused controversy when it was revealed he was employed on a freelance consultancy basis. Under political and public pressure, Birt became a BBC employee. He had to sell his shares in LWT, losing out on a windfall of what would have been several million pounds when it was bought by Granada in 1994. The Sunday Times later revealed that Birt had been a member of the Labour Party at the time of his appointment, a concern to Conservatives who had already expressed concerns about alleged left-wing bias at the organisation.
