Found this old thread on the IPSE forum, but I have no idea if this accurately reflects the proposal

It looks like the idea was to pass 50% of the tests.

Not sure they were ever published to the outside world, but they did follow the same basic logic as the HMRC abortion mix, but with rather more relevant criteria and a far better scoring system. Worth also noting they were written in conjunction with other relevant professional bodies who are also on the IR35 Forum. There were a couple of clear binaries, then others to cover the more marginal cases.

What there weren't were demands to waste money on advertising and to carry bad debts...

If you have employers liability insurance you should get points.

Are we? In what way? In terms of the work that we're engaged in?
Or do you mean disguised by the employer?
Only I'd say there's a reasonable argument that development staff can legitimately largely be classed as contractors because of project-based funding whereas support staff you'd want to be primarily perm. I'd say an 80-20 rule on both sides of the fence would be a reasonable split.

the number of places I have been where "contractors" have been there for 10 years as contractors.... c'mon if that isn't disguised employment...?

Some of them admit they are within IR35 and pay taxes accordingly.

In short until you see others tax affairs you cannot comment.
