Rejoice in the new tax year and secure a resolution of the board of directors regarding a fat dividend payment.

Dunno.

Am sure it'll sort itself out.

Might in readiness create a list of reasons why I should be outside IR35, separated into 'per contract' and my own 'company set up', and then see if anyone really gives a damn come contract time.

Do nothing. I know what I am (qualified contractors) capable of vs Permies. It's easier to train monkeys than permies.

My thoughts exactly. Businesses will always need contractors, that demand doesn't change next April. There will either be a loophole, higher rates, working through a consultancy etc

my currnet thought is contractors will need to expect to move to much shorter, very tightly defined project based work, just like a consultancy would. It may be 2 days of work or it could be 3 months to deliver a very specific project?

Otherwise I can see contractors asking for rate increases but cant imagine clients willing to pay more than about £50 a day extra.

Don't agree with any of that and it's just conjecture at the moment. Have a look in the Future of Contracting thread (Or the IR35 one) and you'll see plenty of posts on the same topic.
