TAX TOPICS - private forum

I'm not denying the use of BG for existing EBT/Loan issues BP - there are deliverables that members pay for after all .

It's the speculative nature of IR35 that I'm wondering about.

Forum Providers will want something in return for the work they'd put into a private forum. There's nothing they can provide at the moment so what they'll want is potential future customers.

And who and how are you going to vet posters? Only Ltd company owners?

If you want a private forum to discuss IR35, join IPSE. They're already talking about it there.

Who's to stop HMRC from joining in and who's to pay for it?

Questions you need to ask before you join any 'private' forum.

Membership fees do help. However BG and the "other group" also require paperwork. Its not infallible. And, if HMRC really want to know, they can get GCHQ on the case.

It is a good idea to have a private forum dedicated to taxes. Maybe we can also discuss this: IR35 calculator website when the forum goes live?

That site seems to have some incorrect information and poor wording / spelling / grammar

IR35 is a Finance Act, which was established and came into act in the year 2000. The main reason why it was introduced was to ensure tax payment by businesses which may not be genuine on the nature of their businesses, that is, they have contractors as employees. Ideally employees in these businesses should pay Income Tax and National Insurance Contributions as required by HRMC after investigations are one to determine whether they pass or fail the IR35. It has not been received well because it affects small businesses and it would cost them.

It hasn't been updated in a while, only has three posts, and one of those is "hello world".

Are Big Group forum logons valid? Or do we have to provide proof again?

They're valid.

No.

Access is available to any person we consider is working for contractors and has something useful to add.

[jbryce]

Access limited to impacted contractors?

Will access be limited to contractors foolish enough to become involved in arrangements that HMRC are interested in?
