So the current suggestions are that the engager will decide weather SDC is a factor for our gigs. Could this maybe end up as a positive for us? In reality what will an agent care or know about SDC for a particular role other than whats currently down in the contract. I'm assuming some clients actually use agency contracts when taking on contractors. If these are IR35 (SDC) friendly then whats to stop the agent deaming us outside IR35?

True though this is - what's the chances of them getting us all? We get insurance against being caught by IR35, make ourselves or the agency the beneficiaries, as required, and let them go for it. How many people are HMRC going to be losing again?
They can't even answer the phone in time, let alone look through 200,000 IR35 cases!
Yeah I know - I like to clutch at straws....but the 24th is a long, long way awayComment

Plus with the mooted mechanism for determination, it makes it a heck of a lot easier for you to be classified inside than outside.Comment
