Hi All,
I'd like to enquire if there is a list on the forum of companies that have brought in blanket bans on Contractors, as a consequence of IR35?
(If not, could I be directed to one?
Or perhaps we could begin compiling one here?)
I cannot speak for other industries, but these blanket bans seem to be increasingly prevalent in the Pharmaceutical sector, where 'outside IR35' status is simply ignored.
I've searched the Financial Times, and while I've seen that Limited Company closures reached a record during Q3 and Q4 of 2020, this is being reported as a consequence of Ex Post Facto tax laws.
There appears to be minimal current reporting on IR35 and the consequences.
Googling for specific companies using blanket bans yields the same few names over and over, such as GSK. But little further insight.
My perception is that the media are almost ignoring a paradigm shift in UK industry.
Without such a list, it's difficult to assess what the actual impact is.
If the impact is not understood, it's not likely the media will react.
