IR35 exemption? Isn't that an unlawful government subsidy? Can I claim compensation?

I bet all that will happen is enforced time off between renewals, similar to the effect of the money laundering regs

CUK actually did a piece on this, defending them as if they were ordinary contractors. They are not contractors they are employees. Big difference! And the special allowance they were given to say ir35 wouldn't affect them shows we are most certainly not all in this together.

Thing that gets me is it seems to be one rule for HMRC and one rule for the rest of us.

If they are so against contractors then just end their contracts. Except the IT ones that is.

Those naughty civil servants.

BBC News - Civil service tax loopholes: Thousands on special contracts

£220/day?

I wouldn't get out of bed for that.

And isn't this sort of thing exactly what IR35 was intended to catch?

Something about the mote in someone else's eye whilst ignoring the beam in one's own springs to mind.
