Will the number of contracts that come on the market decrease (and PAYE FTC's increase) if clients are forced to determine IR35 status?

I'd expect that. End clients won't be willing to take on risk. -
I'm sure a way will be found. Agents will find a way to work around the rules, salesmen will sell new tax avoidance schemes to the unwary and life will go on....Originally posted by BolshieBastard View Postmerely at clientco for the entertainmentComment

I don't see the end client having a choice, if they badly need a dev and the clock is ticking, time is money.Unless you're the lead dog, the scenery never changes.

There will be a battle between the project manager and the person responsible for the client's legal obligations, usually the FD. The FD will always win in this battle.Originally posted by NibblyPig View Post"The budget should be balanced, the Treasury should be refilled, public debt should be reduced, the arrogance of officialdom should be tempered and controlled, and the assistance to foreign lands should be curtailed lest Rome become bankrupt.

Yes, for independent consultants, as clients try to minimise any risk.Originally posted by JB3000 View Post
And it will damage the flexible workforce badly as almost everything will move to big consultancies.
The certain clients will exercise their power to determine IR35 status but only for the purpose to pay less for more or do not pay at all. Overwise what their point?Last edited by FK1; 24 August 2015, 22:56.Comment

Then they'll offer a contract inside IR35 and only inside. If that's all there is on offer then they'll get enough candidates for the role.Originally posted by NibblyPig View PostComment

They'll offer what they want and the appropriate people will decide to apply or not.
If they want to go outside to attract the best of the best of the best with honours then they'll have a commercial arm to their Human Remains team to handle contract staffing issues.The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world that he didn't existComment

People with more in demand skills will (or at least should) be able to raise rates to compensate.
Clients in less populated areas will have to bite the bullet.
Suspect everyone else will have to take the risk, although I suspect some start ups who need to save money up front might use it as a bargaining chip.Comment
