Yes, very true. Setting aside the impact to individuals, and the disingenuous approach by which HMRC forces through its policies, its hard to argue that this shake-up is not needed.

Perhaps. If only the correct tools and information were available to not require a further shake up, further down the line.

It's a journey, to be sure...

So being the only contractor onsite isn't going to be all that rare once all the temporary employees have been correctly determined

Yes, I think a number of the major financials have said that they'd still engage PSC on an ad-hoc basis, for critical roles. Nice position to be in as a contractor.

As I’ve mentioned previously there are at least two UK FTSE-100 Financial Services firms who are now actively looking to engage contractors, at least for a couple of specific skillsets, on an outside IR35 basis. Pretty much everyone in my wider team is in conversation with one or the other of them.

Glad your happy

I did't say that

Thanks for confirming they are not a big business

Glad your happy

Bloody hell what a pair lol! I wasn’t thinking when I made my original posts all the details where really that important. I have nothing to hide, anything to over or under sell. Just celebrating a bit of success.

I don’t think you would call my client a big “business” in hindsight. Probably a medium sized business They have a turnover of hundreds of million and probably 400-500 employees. I am the only contractor on site not including temporary sessional workers doing manual work.

I think what your looking for from the market and what I am looking for is a bit different. I help a lot of small to medium size companies. I have no interest in working for some bank or blue chip who take on hundreds of prem tractors who have always had questionable status and now finding themselves inside. I would imagine the end game is here for those types. A lot of my contracting friends tend to work for similar clients and tend to be the only if not one of a handful of contractors being onsite.

If this sort of setup continue to engage contractors in a sensible manner then its good news for me.

Is it good news for you ? I don’t know ? Small victory today in a see misery...

Thanks for confirming they are not a big business It's no surprise that SMEs will take some effort to get individual contractors on Outside IR35 contracts.

Again, well done.

It all starts with one (wo)man. From acorns, etc... The bigger picture will surely follow.

When a big business with hundreds or thousands of contractors starts making case-by-case determinations, then I'll take notice. I'm not expecting that any time soon.

You shouldn’t expect that anytime soon. All you had in those setups was lots of contractors making case by case decisions to delude themselves and not pay the tax owing. Let’s be honest.

[dx4100]

I was skeptical too. I didn't get an answer to my question on number of employees.

If client only have you as a contractor can't see how determining you outside can been seen of a sign of hope!

Also what you mean by big business, with just one contractor? Strange...

But good for you!
