Reply to: Blanket ban

Blanket ban been lifted on contractors...relieved to have work in these uncertain times ..

How rude...and nope you are wrong on both counts we have been told that is more than likely the blanket ban will be lifted for all contractors. The line of business I work in is about to go boom and will make a fortune from this so in fact far from a demise it’s quite the opposite...so have a good day saddo

Keep us posted then. Is it in 2 weeks that you'll know for definite?

And less name calling in the profession forums if you please.

Had confirmation from QDOS that blanket bans (ie no assessment taken place) wouldn’t have a bearing on previous work, even if continued as PAYE.

Hope is all you've got. They're far too busy with the imminent demise of their entire business model to worry about your personal tax situation.

Now the new regs have been postponed for a year I’m waiting to hear what will happen. I was under a blanket ban so am hopeful I can now continue as was.

Been told by client they won’t engage with PSC’s. Bit late in the day!! I had been told I was assessed as outside. But HR have said no and kyboshed it won’t take any risk at all. So it’s go PAYE or leave. Not even umbrella option. Given coronavirus and slow down in the market could be facing a lengthy stint out of work. Concern is being a target for HMRC as same client but now deemed inside...
Fed up and disenchantmented...HR and legal bods risk averse so no more PSC’s ... Plus the hit of going PAYE it’s all gloomy

And no expenses

HMRC don't have time to do millions of investigations - but looking at the Nationwide case from last week, I suspect they won't need to. Once the contractor accepts the inside contract, it confirms that your client thinks you are inside and I suspect HMRC are good to go..

All HMRC are going to do is look at the contract which switched to inside and see what they can get from it -and it will be a numbers game - I suspect any valid argument will shift you to the "Not worth the hassle" pile as there will be more than enough money and people to chase from those who haven't got a clue what IR35 was about.

Hope so eek...sounds about right !!
