Simple risk aversion - companies don't like risk unless they need to accept it.

What about the risk of projects failing when the cream of the crop (myself for example) leave for outside contracts?

The failed project due to you leaving has your name against it - no one else is going to be blamed (and you aren't there to defend yourself).

Meanwhile IR35 has both HR and the finance director going - "we can't take the risk"..

Against the rules, surely? Each role is supposed to be individually assessed.

What have they actually said?

Have they said everyone is IR35 caught?

Or have they a policy of no longer engaging ltdCo contractors.

Depends what they’ve actually done. No more contractors, only umbrella employees or PAYE, no problem. Otherwise, assessment by type of role can look like blanketing without being a problem. Anyway, we don’t even have the final legislation yet.

Low risk of that when half your industry is doing the same. Or if you are that lucky soul who finds his nice outside IR35 job, the next contractor along who is 90% as good won't have.

If you're still not concerned, then you haven't been paying attention.

If they are assessed yes, however saying you will only work with Brolly or PAYE post April 2020 isn't an assessment, it's a policy
