thanks for the words of support. Many others have also supported my position.

ESM10015 is interesting, it is not clear how\if disagreements could be arbitrated if the client company fails to understand (or wilfully ignores) a correction\evidence for an alternative determination. The disagreement can also be brought at any point in the engagement, which could span more than one tax year and result in the incorrect taxes being paid back. Any such discussions would probably risk the relationships between PSC and Clients\Agents too. A cheeky PSC could well raise an Employment Tribunal and an IR35 disagreement at the end of a lengthy engagement, and use the evidence from both to fight each claim.
Reading it all, I'm starting to see why large users of contractors are starting to shut their doors - they just can't handle the complexity and risk. We'll have to see how the labour market responds I guess but the disruption in the meantime is going to be painful.

Perhaps he was trying to be funny. I was!
(I didn't see the joke in his, though)
