Reply to: Kate Cottrell at OTS?

The same could be said about most contractors brough in to fix serious IT system issues.

If you don't like it don't use them. I like kate and her company I just wondered if the article was wrong and meant to say Kate at B&C

Theres nothing wrong with her work I wouldn't fault that, it's just hardly suprising she's biased about abolishing IR35

[Pacciae]

I believe the technical term in official circles is 'conflict of interest'.

Yes a BIG f$$$$$g conflict of intrest

[Sockpuppet]

IMO it's not in Ms Cottrells interest to recommend abolishing IR35 as her business caters ONLY for IR35 and coming up with son of IR35 still keeps the likes of Ms Cottrell in business and feeding off contractors.shame really that there are so many bottom feeders.

If Income Tax is merged with NI (both of them with employer paying 0 extra) then you won't need IR35...

Is it ****!

But carry on.

Not sure if the location of the report was cited, if not here it is:

Can't be arsed to read it myself at the moment, but I noticed it discusses integrating income tax with National Insurance, possibly as part of a longer term structural reform.

IMHO there are two sides to this;

As a +ve someone who understands the current complexities and why it doesn't work is involved.

As a -ve someone whos livelyhood is based on its current complexity is involved.

or really

[thunderlizard]

It is a great line of reasoning. Implement a tax law that's too complicated to understand. Set up an office to simplify tax laws that are too complicated to understand. Declare that you can't begin to simplify it, because it's too complicated to understand.
