What is everyone going to do assuming HMR&C and Osborne get their way?

I think the one month thing is a bit of a red herring - if we think about the tools that HMRC have now: agency reporting requirements and RTI, they pretty much know who is working for which agency and via which tax vehicle within one month of the contract starting (or thereabouts) so it would be logical for them to ask for a declaration of status within the same period - then they have all the pieces of the jigsaw in one go. Just a thought

Pretty well spot on there I think. No need to bother the end client with collection; the agency can do it fairly easily as part of the supply service. Presumably they will need to deduct a little from the invoiced value to pay for it all, but they've got to make a living.............

As a matter of interest, who will be liable for the Employer NI contributions?

Still sounds like quite a bit, including effective from date, is up in the air. So I'll wait for 25 Nov before drawing any conclusions.

So as long as we pass an online test no client payroll... but if that online tests is as sensible as the business entity tests then we're still doomed.

The test will be worse the BET, as it will include SDC which will be all but impossible to pass!

Theirs too much noise on this for it to go away. Either way we look at it a lot of us have some testing times coming our way!
