    Agreed. IR35 exists to solve a real problem, albeit a problem that exists due to other factors. The root cause is that working as a self-employed individual is not something that works well in the UK for IT, although I imagine that's how most tradesmen operate. To avoid the need for IR35, some bigger shake-up is needed which removes the need/advantage of setting up a 1-man-Ltd in the first place. That sounds like a fairly complicated thing to set up.

    They could just kill IR35 if it's costing more than it brings in, I guess, since IR35 is kind of like wall-papering over a crack in your wall.

    Does that mean I can bin my £200 pile of papers (HIP) with useless information on it that no-one is ever bothered about reading?

    Unlikely. People have short memories.

    After a couple of years of a Conservative govt, people will be looking for a change and who will they look to....

    It's inevitable.
