IR35 Reforms to be Abolished!

[cojak]

If your granny was scammed by a fraudster she would be a victim. There's a spectrum and some contractors are sufficiently naïve/reckless to qualify as such imo.

The unwitting spouses and children of contractors who knowingly avoided tax are certainly victims.

You didn't really read my post did you? I work with IR35, eek works with IR35, many contractors work with IR35 - none of those are 'victims' of IR35.

The 'victims' were those who did not work with IR35 - those contractors who used EBT schemes or used dodgy umbrellas hoping for a bigger payout.

I have huge sympathy for unwitting victims (including those now in dodgy/cloned umbrellas thinking that they are legit).

Thanks for that - that is way better analysis than anything else I have seen from elsewhere...

Paul has always been both clear and accurate in his analyses.

Agree, good article (and not too surprising - Paul Mason is good on this topic).

Can you summarise. I'm too poor to read it

It's written by an ex HMRC Perm Sec, 'nuff said.

It’s an ft article so search on Google for the headline “ Time for a U-turn on IR35 freelancer tax rules “ and you get access


Worth saying

1)he really hates the change but it might be that he was responsible and designed it.
2) he has a point regarding the number of people who will be going self employed come April
3) however, the 2017 and 2021 rules simply weren’t working…

4) I suspect a PSC contractor pays more tax than someone using a tax avoidance scheme - which is what is often happening..
