Many people getting offered higher day rate to work Inside IR35

so enough for local people to roughly break even and continue in contract but not enough for those who live further away to stay....

Would suggest you need 35% to break even if you're local. A lot more than that if you're travelling/staying away.

HMRC/government now collecting shedloads of extra tax

If that's true then this is a success story for HMRC.

depends on how much bench time you can afford - most people aren't willing to claim job seekers allowance to tide themselves over.

Sometimes a 10% cut is better than leaving and hoping for something more especially when the other options have additional costs...

Bottom line

Client is 35% worse off.
Client now potentially has less contractors to choose from (i.e. only worth it for local people)
.

And the quality of their contractors has hit rock bottom...

but not for other departments who now have hassle and extra cost...

Wrong. In your haste to have a dig you made a big mistake. 10% may be affordable, each to his own. But I said BREAK EVEN. :-)

But yes I would agree that each should be taken on its merits.

BTW - you can harp on about JSA until the sun implodes but I'll still claim it in future if I decide its worth it.

And I was pointing out why people may stay even if the rates were slightly lower - oh and its nice to see that you rise to the JSA bait every time we hit you with it....

I agree - as with all gigs, take it on its own merits. To be honest, I dont think JSA would ever sway me either way - its only £75!

Yes yes :-) You do know I havent claimed it for years??

I'm personally seeing the same rate for inside/outside of IR-35 in Bristol. They mostly want to pay £350 either way. Seems like a much better deal to get something outside of IR-35.

Feels like BS legalisation. You're not really an employee if they can get rid of you within a week, inside or outside of IR-35.

It does seem very mean spirited. You pay tax for it so you should get it paid back. I personally wouldn't bother simply due to the sum of money being very small but it might go further for some other people.
