Is George Osbourne keeping you awake?

What happened Friday night

The SDC test is strange and I can't see it working but only time (and the courts of law) will tell

I created this thread ;-)

Not an alternative I am in any way suggesting, Lisa!
By all means bombing them with responses is the way to go.
Just wanted to point out the very recent precedent (that was, it must be said, largely disregarded by Ltd. contractors at the time because, hey, "it's somebody else's problem". Unfortunately it has emboldened the Government in their anti-contractor stance, and now we all suffer)

I think that unless you used a scheme, and the majority didn't, it was someone else's problem. That's how the world works unfortunately.

This 1 month thing, and the T&S, is different and affects all contractors, freelancers, accountants, Umbrella companies, even cafes and hotels!

I'd expect a much, much larger response to this.

"First they came for Montpelier and the S.58 guys, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not with Montpelier.

"Then they came for the DOTAS scheme contractors, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not in a DOTAS scheme.

Then they came for the non-DOTAS scheme contractors, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not in a contractor scheme.

Then they came for the Ltd contractors, and there was no one left to speak for me."

Totally agree

Doesn't keep me awake because there are no decisions to make until he's made his on Wednesday. Then I decide whether the Tories are as unelectable as Labour or not. Can't see any alternatives and that's the real problem.

Its funny, that bloke with the car dealer character as his avatar has gone quiet hasn't he....

If he screws up contracting so that there are no contractors, a side effect will be no more agents to deal with contractors - every cloud and all that!

Nah, he's still flying the flag for Daily Mail readers everywhere, over the in the Terrorism threads.
