    I understood that these can only be implemented if a budget containing the proposals is passed, which seems to be the general opinion here. However, NLUK has a different opinion.

    meaning that instead of people aspiring to achieve things and raising their game accordingly, they'd rather drag successful go getters down to their level and pick their pockets.

    I'm not sure this is correct, but I must admit these are very confusing times.

    As yet there has not been any official or even semi-official communication to indicate that the IR35 reforms will be delayed.

    ... but unfortunately will make things far worse because they simply don't understand how things work.

    That said a lot of other clients are only just thinking about it so might yet be helpful to us.

    I can't see a Labour government reversing any changes but I could see it, essentially, aligning tax and employment laws and giving some employee rights to temporary workers.

    Hmmmmm - after a little digging it appears that the private sector off-payroll rules are in the draft legislation planned for the Finance Bill following the 2019 budget, which has now been cancelled. I've had a quick trawl through the 2018 Finance Act and can see sections covering the loan charge rules but nothing talking about off-payroll working, or similar phrases.

    The draft legislation was published on 11 July 2019.

    So unless I'm missing something (and it certainly wouldn't be the first time!) further enabling legislation is required, which may or may not be passed in time for the new rules to come into force in April 2020.
    you are correct.... Not often Webberg gets it wrong, but in this case he did.
    It needs a budget, and a finance bill.
    Could the current government get a finance bill passed? I've been told that even with his lack of majority that a finance bill will likely pass as without it very few taxes can be collected from April 6th. Although I'd not rule anything out right now.

    Challenging IR35 was at least on the agenda at the Lib Dems Autumn conference: YouTube

    The SNP have in the past spoken out against it but I don't know they still hold that position as a party. My own SNP MP certainly does.
