CUK confirmed as a quality news source

I don't know what you mean about the spelling

Is it aimed at beating us up? I do think they are over-reacting in terms of the numbers of people and the length of service, they do not appreciate that some projects may last a couple of years and that contractors are still required to complete these projects to prevent the burden of over-staffing once these projects are completed. It is the usual headline grabbing stats that are pushed out without any thought or understanding behind them. We all know HMR&C have some pretty complex IT projects and taking on contractors is the most sensible way of getting them done without leaving them with the burden of redundancies etc. Is it right that high level, long term workers use the same route to minimise tax? IMO probably not.

Watching Newsnight last night, that was the conclusion of the chattering classes.

Oi! I read the Daily Mail!



PS: Well done CUK!

The Prosecution rests, m'lud!

Nick Fitz is going to be mortified.

I'm just astonished to see the Mail linking back to one of its sources rather than just nicking the content as usual

We have made it people, CUK linked to from the DM:

But no mention of how much Fiona Bruce's house is worth so ultimately I am disappointed

Soon there will be a picture of your house with its worth!

Well done

IR35 does NOT state that working for one company alone isn't allowed. This is how the vast majority of contractors work.

Why does that name ring a bell?
