    No IR35 Delay at RBS

    No 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

    Umbrella Company Choice

    Simple question. Help appreciated. Are there any FCSA approved umbrella companies that offer tax planning and optimisation over and above the standard PAYE arrangements, for a very short-term contract? Any recommendations appreciated. Well aware of some of the opinions on the above - looking...

    IR35 determination - EY Confirm Tool

    I fear it will be worse than that... Pretty soon all this will be forgotten and the “new normal” The large firms will say, why have I got people I pay pensions, sick pay, holiday pay, health insurance, death-in-service, that I can’t fire or restructure? Why don’t I make them all like the...

    IR35 - Did the big firms collude and break competition law?

    I love that a serious topic is just a playground for your inside-baseball jokes. I don't come here often, but I do recognise your profile and I'm unsure of ever seeing a sensible contribution from you.

    IR35 - Did the big firms collude and break competition law?

    And that's why we're the little guys in all this... because there's always a little guy with a big post count who wants to be tasty.

    IR35 - Did the big firms collude and break competition law?

    Not at all. Competition law is there to protect suppliers. Large companies can't form a working group to decide how they deal with suppliers if that compresses the market. Competition law prevents that. Or should.

    IR35 - Did the big firms collude and break competition law?

    Nothing hysterical here. Not even trying for magical. But competition law is a real thing and people take it more seriously in organisations than HMRC. Don't you wonder how none of the companies felt they had to break ranks to get the best talent? How they were sure they'd keep the good people?

    IR35 - Did the big firms collude and break competition law?

    Proof of a conversation? No, I didn't record them. But that's not how this works. If there is reason to believe competition law has been broken, then discovery either by law enforcement or regulators will reveal collusion. The act of obfuscating collusion only make sit more obvious.

    IR35 - Did the big firms collude and break competition law?

    I've had several conversations of late where people anecdotally mentioned that the IR35 impact to companies isn't as great as feared. People have said, there's been an emotional reaction, but ultimately, very few contractors have chosen to move on. Each time, I've asked, "Why do you think that...

    Next steps on IR35 moot - it's a PSC ban that's the problem

    They did 10% over the summer at renewal time. A 20% cut will really twist the knife. I suggest that won't happen given the panic on good people leaving in the past two months due to IR35

    Next steps on IR35 moot - it's a PSC ban that's the problem

    Every few hours there's now a story about HMRC and The Treasury being pressured to delay or re-think IR35. Give many large client organisations (mine included - RBS) are side-stepping the IR35 debate by forcing a ban on PSCs, does anyone here thing that the edge-case likelihood of a...
