HMRC contractors all Inside(Blanket Approach)

[KUWTC]

It was my understanding, that following the publication of the Finance Bill last week that the reasonable care clause had been introduced to protect contractors from such blanket approaches. When did HMRC declare this, OP?

Welcome to our world.
For the record, you may like to know the APN legislation featured similar "reasonable care" prerequisites. That didn't prevent HMRC from adopting a "one size fits all" approach, and issuing APNs based on wild calculation models (calibrated to maximize the "tax take"!) rather than actual figures THAT THEY HAD.
That is to name only one irregularity of a great many
Why?
Because they can!
Because there is little, indeed no consequence at all, for them not complying with the legislation.

I have completed the tool and forwarded my responses to the agency. Looks like all this is going to be a formal thing and the decision seems to be unchallangable.

If you are an IPSE member then I would contact the policy team there - this is exactly the kind of example that contractors should be shouting about everywhere. HMRC are ignoring the "reasonable care" provisions and not providing a mechanism for appeal which was always in the details of how this should work.

If IPSE is supposed to be our loudspeaker...God help us!

A few more of these trickling through as HR departments have become involved......

Coupled with a complete lack of understanding about what an Office Holder is, an interesting week.

You must have access to shed-loads of data on how PSBs are handling this:

1) blanket inside
2) blanket outside
3) case-by-case (most inside)
4) case-by-case (most outside)
5) head-in-sand no response

I'd love to understand the percentages..... maybe in your next linkedin article?
