Also loved the comments...
Did it for 17 years between 1991 and 2008 then packed in and moved to Spain on the money I had saved. Brilliant, just get a good accountant.

Good spot, DK.
I don't know how to react to this increased attention to contracting. On the one hand it might prompt the powers that be to finally do something about the calamity that is IR35, but on the other hand, with the public's current appetite for persecuting anyone who earns more than an average wage it might get messy...
Doesn't help that the article is riddled with inaccuracies either.
