Originally posted by JohntheBike View Postthey have already demonstrated the lie that this statement is in the Alcock case, where they tried to stop the CEST evidence being presented in court, without stating why they did not want the evidence submitted. I guess the case has been nobbled though, so any further details will not be forthcoming.

Originally posted by MonkeysUncle View PostThis is my point.
It completely negates the CEST because even if you are outside, all they have to say is the wrong information was put in and so no they dont have to standy by it.
This sounds like the comment on another thread about their "Not looking into past tax practices if found to be going from Outside to Inside IR35 from April 2020 - Unless fraud or criminal activities are suspected."
In other words, nothing the HMRC say is worth the time spent reading it.
If this were not the Professional forum, I would be adding many 'winker' emojis.

Originally posted by Paralytic View PostHave HMRC ever said that?
EDIT: HMRC: We 'rigorously tested' IR35 tax-check tool... but have almost nothing to show for it • The Register
An HMRC spokesman reiterated this, adding that the CEST service "reflects employment status case law and has been rigorously tested throughout development". HMRC is "confident" in its accuracy, he said, and will stand by the results it generates.

If HMRC wont even stand by their own tool then what is the point in running it in the first place!
