Originally posted by northernladuk View PostAre companies really doing full U turns. It's only been a couple of days. It's taken them 6 months to put this in place so I'm finding the list of U turns on the new site a bit difficult to believe to be honest.
I expect some will but it seems awfully quick for large organisations to have switched back.

Originally posted by WavyDavy View PostNo one has been deemed inside or outside IR35 at RBS. There have been no determinations. There is no retrospective risk. If there had been determinations, I would agree with you. But there is no risk, RBS has gone for PSC blanket ban so does not have the issue of people being deemed inside IR35
HMRC's view is that those who instituted PSC bans did so because that fit the working practices. In other words, in their view everyone at those places should have been inside. Therefore, there is retrospective risk.
Second, for a bank that has (deservedly) received so much bad press and wants to rebuild their reputation, they want to be able to say, "The reforms brought to our attention that there might be some inappropriate tax avoidance going on among those who work with RBS. We don't want to facilitate that, so we won't be working with PSCs anymore." It's a big political win for them even if the 'reform' has been rolled back.Comment

There is plenty of evidence that some of the banks just use contracting as a way to recruit, not because they want skills they don't have to come deliver SoW type deliverables. There is no way, if they had done it properly, that everyone would be outside. Just because it was a blanket it does not mean everyone is now by defacto outside now they've done a U Turn. I'd be willing to bet these types of places will have more insides that anywhere else.
The fact that so many people are saying they are outside because the blanket is lifted also shows there are a lot of people in these places that don't know about IR35 almost putting themselves inside as well.
If pressure mounts on them to do it properly next year I think there are going to be a lot of bad surprises for people a hell of a lot of worried contractors next time round and will make up a majority of the posters asking what to do when this hits next time.
The U turn is not necessarily a good thing for many people in blanket roles IMO.'CUK forum personality of 2011 - Winner - Yes really!!!!Comment
