IR35 Makes the Government £1.5m Year

Which "world" do you live in? I can't think of many examples where proof and facts are actually the deciding factors...... rumour, 1/2 baked theory, scare tactics, jealousy etc.... but PROOF and FACTS nah!

e.g. Anthropomorphic Climate Change.

I mean Man Made. Might be the wrong word. I was educated at a comprehensive school on a council estate.

In that case - Good point!

Anthropomorphic means "Man shaped", "like man", etc

I hate to see valid points turned to tulip due to missused (or misunderstood) words....... but hey! its ireverant to me

I don't believe it has made any money at all. When you look at the numbers it's as good a case as could be made. The reality is a huge loss to UK plc.

Yet, that wasn't the point of IR35, it never was intended to raise money for the treasury, it was to try and make sure you didn't have it.

Just your usual bone headed social engineering, that as an unfortunate side effect, caused immense damage to the UK IT industry.

Then again, when you think about it, maybe destroying the UK IT industry was the hidden agenda all along.

See my post in the other thread. I think the figure of £1.5 million is only the take from compliance activities. The total tax take resulting from IR35 is hundreds of times that.

IR35 is still a nice little earner for the government, albeit not quite as nice as Primarolo said it would be.
