USA comes to mind, if you are US citizen, even if you have dual citizenship, you owe US income tax regardless of country of residence. Even if you live and work in a tax haven for years, uncle Sam wants his share.

Which is why quite a few renounce said citizenship. It's an unconventional approach though - only two countries in the world work like this (the other one is Eritrea).
On the plus side, the IRS doesn't use time machines to change laws retrospectively.

That's the biggie. That said, the IR35 tests have been a sham and have, and surely you have to admit this, been abused by many - too many have simply declared themselves outside on the needle-in-a-haystack principle in terms of being happy to take their chances.

It's definitely not a one-way street though; HMRC are responsible, the contractors are responsible but the others who are responsible, who are getting away with everything, are the clients. In many cases they are using contractors simply to avoid business NICs, HR red tape and all the related employment paperwork.

Sorry son you don't know anything about my Contracting history going back to 1999.

This is yet another of your I am better than you posts. boring..

offer advice rather than bigging yourself up.

Newbie alert...

Sorry, had to chuckle, my contracting history goes back to 1992, but with a brief permie interlude the following year. Didn't like it.
Doesn't make me any better or wiser than anyone else, but it's fun to stir the pot now and again...
