It's crucial to the argument.
If a contractor works for a software house, who will make the determination and who will be liable? If the software house is paid a combined fee by the end client, without specific payments for an individual, who is liable? The structure you posted, doesn't appear to cover this.

How will it work, if, like me the individual contracts to a software house, who in theory can allocate the individual to any of the software house's clients?However, I only work for one of the software house's clients.

Putting aside the obvious and humorous misspelling, it doesn't look wrong to me. This is the only garbled sentence, really:
In April what you are likely to see is a raise in day rates – clients pay more to contracts to advocate for the increase in National Income Tax. [agency] will have to review CV’s and amend them accordingly.

I think you need to chill a little.
Yes, the agency is doing a very poor job. It's obvious someone has done a find/replace and not proof-read for unintended consquences.
The legislation is very clear that the end client is responsible for determining the status. What the article you linked to describes is a likely outcome that the task could be pushed to the agency but it is not their responsibility. On that front, you are wrong and the agency is right.
In some areas, contract rates did rise in direct response to the Public Sector changes so to make an assumption that the same will happen in the Private Sector is not without foundation. I was working at Imperial College before the public sector changes came in and I was offered a 30% increase if I would go back because they made a blanket determination that everyone was inside. My experience is not an isolated case.

That said, to be fair, this link says the Agency Administers the decision. But that the decision rests with the Client.

All our contracts are Isle 35 friendly, The clauses are written in a way that falls outside of Isle 35.
Exhibit B.1 - incorrect statement 'the end client' isn't necessarily responsible, it may be the agent - see response to other poster above
Exhibit B.2 - contradiction - IR35 friendly contract now becomes inside IR35 contract with tax collected at source
From April 2020, it will no longer be a contractor’s responsibility to determine their own isle 35 status. The end client (The Banks) will be responsible for determining the contractor’s employment status and fee (recruitment agency’s), will be responsible for deducting the correct tax and national insurance.[/U]
Exhibit C - admission that they don't understand the legislation and yet they're already providing advice on it
Internal resources are being brought in to understand the legislation, perform assessments for contractors (Isle 35 project teams).
Exhibit D.1 - naivety in the assumption that clients will be happy to pay inflated rates
Exhibit D.2 - another naive assumption that contractors are happy to have their 'profiles' frigged with
In April what you are likely to see is a raise in day rates – clients pay more to contracts to advocate for the increase in National Income Tax. [agency] will have to review CV’s and amend them accordingly.Last edited by oliverson; 18 July 2019, 14:06.

So who will determine the IR35 status of the contractors? The legislation puts the burden of responsibility on the entity that pays the contractor, and very often this will be a recruitment agency.
