    It just looks good that these contractors are being nailed for the extra tax.
    So it is an effective budget cut for PS.

    i.e. you are now contributing to the extra £150 PD as a tax payer, I can send you a picture if you would like

    This is straight from the manifesto...

    We would also extend the rights of
    employees to all workers, including
    shared parental pay, making a
    substantial and immediate difference
    to the quality of life of people in
    insecure work.

    It is on page 51.

    However, what I'd really like to see is him take this further. Make us REAL employees instead, if we are caught by IR35, then we don't pay the employers NI, we get holiday and sick pay and we get benefits too.

    Will this be the new way forward for us if he wins? Chasing benefits from our "employers" ?

    Speaking personally on Corbyn...
    Isn't that all the Tories are doing now? Are they afraid of him? Is he the big bad bogeyman? Where is the mention of the Labour party?

    Not my choice really, but they are competing with IB rates now, i.e. the same PS rate as previously + a big chunk extra for being inside IR35.

    i.e. old rate £450, new rate £600+

    So much for the 1% pay freeze in the public sector.

    No I've not.
