All in all, it simply encourages and give hope to more people to carry on tax evasion which is exactly what the hmrc wants to stop in the first place. Poor suggestion and least likely to get even recommended or heard at higher levels. Tax amnesties in any form usually carry bad reputation and...- puzzler

Red flag is one thing, getting invoked at an hmrc system is another. What do you think the risk of such contractor to FTC cases flagged & invoked post April changes ?? surely umbrella/inside ir35 and PS/inside/outside ir35 got more chances of flagged and invoked at hmrc system as both options...- puzzler

One should also not forget, we may only have limited time to do traditional contracting at private sector too. So if someone do have the capability to leave PS and join Private, then must avail the opportunity. I see there is a global and persistent drive to retreive taxes from an individual...- puzzler

so far, somewhat, somehow, maybe, ifs/buts aside, partly guessing... Best *PS only* options are: 1- If same PS - then fixed term/perm employment to avoid retro 2- If different PS - then can even do umbrella (inside ir35)- puzzler

How will HMRC identify such cases in the first place for retro investigation ? What exactly happened at BBC ? Permanent/fixed term employment completely detaches you from the LTD company structure, and in absense of LTD company there should be no scope of ir35 to apply i guess... Do you think...- puzzler

safest options ? safest options ? I wonder whats the safest option or possibilities for the not-so-brilliant-and-brightest contractors, who do want to keep working for same PS contracts after April 2017 changes. I believe the options with associated risks are: OPTION # 1 Permanent/Fixed Term...- puzzler

Private.. when ? Private.. when ? Any intelligent guess how long will it be before it may get implemented in private sector ? I hope it is not implemented so soon like next financial year. In that case not worth a lot of hassle for PS contractors dumping PS contracts and moving into private...- puzzler

why left out private ? why left out private ? I am really somehow puzzled why govt/hmrc did not roll out same regime for the private sector ? did they do it on purpose ? i.e. to roll at a later stage.... i.e. divide & conquer or did they never want to implement this in private sector... Is...- puzzler
