Today's daft idea - IR35 "The Musical"

[DimPrawn]

No one would have believed, in the last years of the twentieth century, that Contractor tax affairs were being watched from the timeless worlds of HMR&C.

No one could have dreamed our company returns we were being scrutinized, as someone with a microscope studies creatures that swarm and multiply in a drop of water.

Few men even considered the possibility of being a "disguised employee" and yet, across the gulf of "fairness", minds immeasurably inferior to ours regarded our profit with envious eyes, and slowly and surely, they drew their plans against us.


Yes, the chances of a PAYE audit are a million to one, but still they come.....

It does have a happy ending though

"From the moment the politicians arrived, claimed expenses, ate and drank, they were doomed. They were undone, destroyed, after all of the PCGs whinging and moaning had failed"

As I hastened through Covent Garden, Blackfriars and Billingsgate, more and more people joined the painful exodus to Australia and New Zealand.

Sad, weary women, their children stumbling and streaked with tears, their men bitter and angry, the rich rubbing shoulders with Labour voters.

Dogs snarled and whined, the horses' bits were covered with
foam... and here and there were the benched Contractors, as helpless as the rest.

We saw MP's sailing up the Thames in yachts, travelling through bridges whilst reading the paper - Waterloo Bridge, Westminster Bridge... One appeared above Big Ben in his private helicopter.

And they have developed resistance to the common cold.
Try sea-water to defend yourselves, it's our only hope now....

Everyone should own a copy of the War of The Worlds musical. IMO it's that good, and I'm not even all that musically inclined.
