Too late given that clients are already complying. Why would they want to change when, from their POV, companies are doing exactly what they wanted them to do. -
The issue isn't with off payroll tax, the issue is with clients' knee-jerk reaction to it.
These kind of protests to simply postpone what's already happening baffle me.Comment

Where have you been? You don't think all of these blanket decisions are knee-jerk?
Clients have panicked and reacted in a way that's detrimental to all parties, not least themselves. That is what needs addressing most. The contracting game has survived under ir35 for years, it's now that clients are the decision makers that it's gone tits up.Comment

Originally posted by NeedTheSunshine View PostClients are not going to change their minds unless the law is changed. To get the law changed you need to influence politicians. Clients don't care whether you are inside/umbrella whatever. No skin off their nose. The market isn't exactly great so there will be sufficient supply of people willing to take the pay cut. If you want change do something about it. Holding up a placard for an hour is hardly a big ask.
The clients are being lazy and paranoid, but everyone's pointing the finger at HMRC. IR35 is what it is, it's not very popular for obvious reasons - but protest against the many, many, many clients that are reacting naively.Comment

By the way, I'm open to being told I'm wrong here if I'm missing some detail of the reform that makes it much more than just a shift in liability. My point is that the clients are the problem, beyond the obvious issues with IR35 that's been around for ages.Comment
