It might be worth sending a private message to webberg.

I think at last count we were 100 and counting.

The sort of campaign being described here is something that we have not done within Big Group to date on the grounds that the agencies etc are unlikely to be able to do much about historical tax issues.

Where these outfits should be however is front and centre in:

Pushing for removal of IR35
Pushing for removal of the loan charge
Pushing for a definition of "worker" for tax and employment purposes

However, previous calls to these bodies and the trade bodies in this area have been met by

The umbrella companies board on this site has a recent thread suggesting that global medics agency have lots of workers engaged via elite synergy to get 85% take home.

That's good to know. That's one going forward!

Which agencies and loans company are under the spotlight???

Dear All,

I am undertaking an awareness campaign to contact employment agencies in London to promote the parliament petition to encourage a debate in parliament in regards to the Loan charge.
As contractors can you confirm which agencies you were working for pre-2017 when you received loans? (I have Morgan Hunt, Venn Group, FRCE, Badenoch and Clark so far)
Also, the names of the Loans companies preferably that have had HMRC enquiries? I have Smartpay/Principal contractors so far.
Third which job roles/sectors this hit. I.e social workers in social care, Nurse locums in NHS.
