    On a more positive note, he said he made sure HMRC won't act heavy-handed during the first year (whatever that means).
    Whether it's another dishonest promise remains to be seen.

    HMRC don't need to work heavy-handed in their first year - they have plenty of time to get their retrospective actions in.

      Hmmm. Most interesting part of that is the reference to not being "heavy handed" in the first year of implementation, which is contrary to the noises coming direct from HMRC.

      What HMRC just told us about IR35 reform and why it’s worrying

      We'll see.

        you aren't as cynical as me.

        One thing better for HMRC than asking for 700 contractors to be taken into account is HMRC asking for all 2000 contractors used by the end client over the last 3 years to be taken into account.

          No, I think I am roughly as cynical. I haven't heard any politicians talk about a go-slow on enforcement until then, so it's interesting from that POV; but, I also don't think politicians will be on top of the implementation of any such political guidance until it's way too late, so I doubt it will make much difference.

              I didn't see any questions being asked about retrospective claims, or did I miss something?

                Neither did I. Did I miss something about your question?

                  Nope, the question was quite clear. Thanks for your clarity also.

                    exactly why most here don't believe a word of anything that comes from HMRC (or the politicians).
                    hence, most of us ought to cover our arses by taking the least risk action..
