    Materials

    Materials can be laptop, software, purchased process maps etc. I do not disagree with the statements about the purpose of ir35

    They deem this question to be Not Applicable. They understand it to not be applicable to my role as a consultant where I've been brought in to write procedures, show how MSP can be applied, and create tools within multiple programmes.
    How can this be fair to consultants who bring knowledge and self-funded training to the organisation so that it can be improved. A painter does the same except he or she brings physical materials. I also see the written procedures to be the equivalent of building a sturdy physical wall.
    Has anybody experienced this? Is there any written guidance that shows this question can be applied to consultants and not just labourers?!
    What complaint have you got exactly? The rules are not aimed at painters or brickies. The target of the new rules is you. It has been that way since 2000 and the start of IR35 but you've had a good long run where you managed to stay outside it. Now you''re caught, I can't see what the problem is.

    The tool is rigged. You must have realised this by now.
    Actually they changed answer wordings at least once, and the new wordings gives completely new meaning to the answer. To put you in.
