Originally posted by Mich the Tester View PostSounds reassuring, but again, the same weasel words were used by the Dutch government and now 250 freelance nurses have lost their contracts because the tax office suddenly decided their intermediary was actually an employer. They'll be having a really wonderful christmas I'm sure, as will the people who were recieving care.
Beware of politicians and tax officials saying reassuring things. Why do I get the feeling that British and Dutch ministers and senior civil servants are being advised by the very same lizards?

HMRC gave a response to PCG's request for clarification
https://www.pcg.org.uk/news-events/n...8661825539#%21
HMRC CLARIFIES CHANCELLOR’S STATEMENT ON FALSE SELF-EMPLOYMENT TO PCG
6TH DECEMBER 2013BY PCG
PCG, the membership organisation for freelancers, has received clarification directly from HMRC that the measures designed to combat false self-employment announced by the Chancellor in yesterday’s Autumn Statement will not target the legitimately self-employed.
A HMRC spokesperson told PCG:
“We wanted to clarify that the measures are targeting mass-marketed schemes, where workers can be moved en-masse into self-employment, even though they should be employed. Often the workers are low-paid and unaware that they are being engaged on a self-employed basis until they try to claim employment rights. The measure is designed to stop this from happening.”
Simon McVicker, PCG’s Director of Policy and Public Affairs, today welcomed the news;
“It is comforting to hear that the measures will be confined to a specific problem area and will not affect legitimately self-employed contractors and freelancers. It is also very encouraging to see HMRC engaging in clear and open dialogue with the bodies that represent freelancers and small businesses in order to clarify the situation so quickly.”
More information on the measures outlined in the Chancellor’s Autumn Statement designed to tackle the growth of intermediaries disguising employment as false self-employment, including a technical consultation and draft legislation, will be published on 10th December 2013.

Sounds like that would apply only to agencies employing temps, rather than Ltd companies
