I'm surprised by the lack of comments in the past 4 hours. The IPSE suggest an engager / contractor levy and yet no one comments.merely at clientco for the entertainmentComment

Engager or contractor? They've suggested engager before. It might be semantics in the sense that we know where it ends up, but it would be something to suggest a levy directly on their members.Originally posted by eek View PostI'm surprised by the lack of comments in the past 4 hours.

Then again, is anyone really surprised by IPSE anymore?

He literally couldn't make his mind up (just go to I think 1 minute later). Either way it would be 13.4% straight off the headline budget figure which would previously have been going to the contractor.Originally posted by jamesbrown View PostEngager or contractor?

I recall this levy (or something simiar) being suggested at the last policy session IPSE held with those peeps from that think tank. I don't recall it being especially well received by the membership?
Once again, it's more tinkering around the edges rather than a full review of taxation.Comment

I wonder what the chairman thinks (because being blunt Derek's performance today was selling out everything PCG stood for).merely at clientco for the entertainmentComment

At some point, they went from being "meh" (add up the costs, subtract the benefits, is it better than zero?) to a serious problem for professional contractors, working against our better interests. Perhaps the bohemian finger painters are pleased with their new union, but they're now worse than useless as an advocate for high-end contractors.Originally posted by eek View PostHe literally couldn't make his mind up (just go to I think 1 minute later).

For me that was back in 2016 when I had to go and do the work they should have done to fight the expenses changes.Originally posted by jamesbrown View PostAt some point, they went from being "meh" (add up the costs, subtract the benefits, is it better than zero?) to a serious problem for professional contractors, working against our better interests.
