PCG News on gov contracts - Will the government ever **** off and leave me alone?

Because they hired you as a member of a team, a temporary employee to fill a gap.

Bursting my bubble again aren't you lol and I always thought of myself as a billable asset

The best things would be to drop all tax and just have a land value tax. Oooh yeah, the dream.

So a management consultant is an employee of the client?

They're already employed by the consultancy.

And I'm employed by my consultancy. I am also a Director and Shareholder, as are some management consultants. But you are suggesting that I am a disguised employee of the client, but the management consultant is not. Or are you saying something else?

If you really can't see a difference between a company hiring multiple people on a proper salary and charging them out to turn a profit, and one person charging themself out as a company and taking all the money as dividends, there's probably no way we can debate this.

How disappointing. Hopefully I can find someone more clever than you to debate with.

I wish you luck finding someone clever enough to figure out how to explain it to you.

I forgive you.

I look forward to the PCG putting celebrities & politicians through the example tests.

The <insert footballer's image rights name here> fails the IR35 test.

The <Comedian> fails the test.

The <Politicians personal appearance company> fails the test, lets see the gurning idiot pass.

a few of those will derail these.

the difference is that instead of the person who did the work getting to keep all the money, it gets shared amongst the government a bit more via PAYE/NI and then the rest goes to investors / pension schemes via their divvy... which dont get the tax credit anymore, so the gov get a bit more there too.

I never worked out how comanies are willing to pay £1000/day for someone just coz they are thru a big consultancy, yet they can get the same person half price or less going direct. The company as far as I can tell, add no value other than acting as a magnet for people who want a career rather than some work.
