Out of interest what body was it ? They should be reported to HMRC immediately as an example of how abusers have helped usher in unthought-through legislation. That is utterly deplorable. Both his manager and Procurement should be reprimanded for flagrant abuse of public funds.
    I'd really rather not say - but lets just say he's not the first permie I have seen do this, and not the first gig (admittedly the others were private sector), where I have seen this happen.

      Except that contractors CT accounts for probably less than 5% of the CT collected by HMRC and there will be some very angry big businesses opposing such change...

        In that case you should report it yourself.

          How can I do this without drawing attention to myself?

              Put in an FOI asking names etc and why the conditions for contracting were met. Or something to that effect.

                  Freedom of Information Requests -
                  1. Don't give names of individual citizens
                  2. The department can refuse to give you the information citing cost in collating the information.

                  You are better of just reporting the department. If you search there are HMRC pages for dobbing people in.

                    I'm currently working on a public sector gig that ends 31st March with final invoices to be paid after April.

                    HR are talking to legal & commercial departments to see if the gig will be deemed inside the 'off payroll' system. Before I asked the question they had no knowledge of the change.

                    Agent states they believe (hope) that further clarification will be issued in the new year and that the decision will be based on your day rate. The thinking being that a day rate equivalent to an employee will be deemed off payroll, higher rates will be classified as specialist and therefore exempt. Can't see this myself.

                    Spoke to one other contractor here about the change and he states it won't impact him as he carries his own phone to meetings....

                    However, when the worse case scenario is paying tax on your £400 a day rate, life isn't that bad to be honest.

                      Must use the same account as a Contractor I know who is outside IR35 because he has his company logo on the side of a coffee mug.
