Mini Budget aka Fiscal Statement

[quackhandle]

Why would they help? they hardly ever did pre 2017, they will just care as little as before. And look at the amount of permietractors who "walked" when the new rules got introduced...yeah, most just went inside and carried on regardless, now they will be more happy as they will earn more being outside, but they won't care one bit about whether they are really outside.

So we've gone from super tulipshow to just a tulipshow.

So top rate of income tax in England falls back to 40% but stays at 46% in Scotland. Is that correct?

[Wobblyheed]

I suspect many of the clients that found their roles were definitely inside - will suddenly find they were definitely outside again, but only from the next tax year of course

i wonder if we can retrospectively claim the extra tax back?

[mallisarealperson]

Sure just have a nice sit down with a friendly tax inspector. Just so they can check all is ok

Rightly so. It seems HMRC proved their own BS taw lax allowed to do this, albeit they 'interpeted' it as such..

Anyway this is great news. My current contract is without question outisde IR35 so am keen to speak to Qdos etc and HMRC about why i am being forced inside when i should have been outside all along.

I think anyone who goes Inside to Outside with the same client on 6th April next year will be playing a very dangerous game

[mallisarealperson]

Agree. Clean break move on.

Agreed. Status change in either direction with the same client is just a no-no in my view.

I hear you Simon but lets actually look at this.

I absolutely pass all the HMRC checks re IR35 i am clearly outside. The only reason my current client pushed me inside were reasons i can't explain here. However. I have been informed already they will revert.

Based on a Qdos review and as above i am rightly permitted to claim i am outside from that date, when in reality i should be restrospectively reimbursed on my financial losses. This is in accordance to their own rules not 'what doesn't feel right to do'. This is what HMRC seems to eb towards too much, ie mind games, playing on such as attempting to bind Tax evasion and avoidance in the same group, and dare i say efficiency is snarled at also.

We shouldn't be bullied into submission here.
