Contracting in the UK, as we've known it for the past couple of decades, has largely died already, and the upcoming budgets will probably dot a few more i's and cross some t's, but the need for flexible work and workers will always exist. Unfortunately, the direction of travel has been towards more pseudo-employments that don't especially benefit clients and certainly disadvantage workers who would otherwise engage B2B (umbrellas, FTCs etc.). I think many contractors wouldn't care too much about the eroding tax advantage of working outside, providing they could claim legitimate business expenses. One thing you cannot viably do with FTCs or umbrellas is travel to find the work.
