      I know I'll get crap for this but there has to be some way of a legal action to make this illegal. Pay the same tax without the same benefits? That's ludicrous.

      The fact that they think they will get more tax is emperor's new clothes stuff.

      It's infuriating. I'm venting.

        How many times have you raised/written to your MP in the past few years about this ?

          Yes, there is a way to make it illegal. Get a majority of MPs to pass legislation. Get it through the House of Lords. Get Royal Assent. Done and dusted. Get to work!

            Let me introduce you to the end game - No Rights Employee

            As a large firm with easily substitutable staff why would I want the hassle of permanent staff.

                Quite rightly as well. You win the daftest post that mentions illegal so far. The quote 'a way of a legal action to make it illegal' puts you head and shoulders of all the other daft suggestions. Well done.

                  I've been saying for a while that I thought the risk of "retrospective investigation" at first was likely low. I thought their first target would be "non-compliant" (in HMRC's view) clients, looking to make examples of them.

                  His statement here makes me doubt that. If they are going to go easy on the clients in the first year, then chances are they will have the resources to go after the outside-to-inside people.

                  Of course, saying they are going to go easy doesn't mean they will....

                    Chancellor Sunak vows IR35 reform 'tweaks' ahead of 12-month 'soft landing'

                    “And as the chancellor has said, HMRC wants to take a supportive approach to help businesses to apply the rules correctly going forwards.”

                      Are you also furious about the higher day rate you're getting compare to permanent employees doing the same/similar job?
