Respond to govt subcommittee

Govt committee on IR35 is calling for evidence from organisations and individuals. Let's do our part in spreading awareness and submitting evidence. To me the fact that Clients are putting blanket inside IR35 for all roles and refusing to work with PSC altogether is an indication that this isn't well thought through.

Finance Bill Sub-Committee - submit a written submission - UK Parliament

Please submit your views and share with your network.

Then make a hat out of industrial foil, store your phone in a crisp packet and go live in a bunker in the Nevada desert after you click send on the email.

This one started my day with a smile.



Thank you.

Don't quite think that would work. As mentioned in another thread recently, there's loads of ways that anything digital can still be traced back to it's origin

If someone tells someone else that their actions will adversely affect thousands of people, dont you think it would have rather more impact if a few thousand said the same thing independently?

Stop being paranoid and start writing in. Utterly pointless leaving it to the other guys. Unless of course you dont want to fight back.

Set up a fake email address then.

I had a reply from my MP which included a letter from Jesse Norman to 'address my concerns'.

According to the Treasury:

.[*]There is no evidence of large corporations taking blanket decisions.

Absolute pish, again shows the scale of lying that goes on. We see it in ir35 and just makes you realise this scale of BS probably goes across all political points.


Norman is a muppet

Also, if you gave your true name and contact details to such a government body, isn't that just making yourself an easier target for HMRC/Gov ?? (although it would make no difference to whether you win or lose).

If they accepted snail-mail submissions then I might have written in without leaving a trace.

If they can't attribute the comments to a real person, how do they know it's not spam?

[oliverson]

on the contrary to most posts here, I see this as a VERY significant development. This and the loan charge article on the main page. It seems to me that FINALLY, somebody is listening.

According to the Treasury:

• There is widespread non-conformance to the rules. - note the use of rules rather than law
• Everyone should pay the right amount of tax. - fully agree. It is HMRC who want to flout the law
• The roll out to the public sector was successful and raised more tax than expected. - HMRC lied
• There is no evidence of large corporations taking blanket decisions. - Another lie
• And even if there was, they've put a dispute process in place to protect contractors. - ROFL

But I'm not really telling anyone anything they don't already know. - Indeed

The roll out to the public sector was successful and raised more tax than expected.

they hadn't had a complete cycle to be able to claim that. It's surprising that the response to these false claims is so muted.

At best, nothing. It could make things worse. Look at the LC review.

Part of me does wonder if they could use a lack of response as an indicator of no impact, without realising that a lack of response is due to a lack of faith that anything (positive, relatively speaking) will come of it.
