Brollies want SDC for all

[jamesbrown]

The quote is Lisa's comment on the LinkedIn post.

Odd, I couldn't find it when I searched. In any case, I'm pretty sure that's tongue in cheek (i.e. not being advocated); Lisa has argued the case against SDC (with me on the opposite side), but she's right that it would tie things together and that's where all this started (i.e. SDC is already used in other legislation). It's your smiley that threw me, as though Lisa was making a principled case for SDC or something...perhaps I misunderstood though.

Linkedin threading leaves a lot to be desired.

Thanks. Just used a keyword search, but it was a collapsed thread.

Anyway, Lisa can answer for herself, but it would be odd if she's changed her opinion on SDC; I don't think she has.

Obviously, the comment is factually correct though. It would tie things together; that's what anyone arguing against SDC is up against. I think the main battle is elsewhere, as I've said many times before, namely with the clients deciding under duress of liability (i.e. "false employment"); in that sense, the criteria of SDC vs. IR35 is moot.

Yes, but not content with that, the brollies seem to want to change the definition of IR35 to shaft those left behind.

We are under the impression that even if working through a brolly, if the contractor is shown not to be under SDC (and probably will have to be declared by the end client), then there is the opportunity for T&S to be claimed under self assessment at the end of the year - but here's hoping today may give us all some answers.

How does that tie into the idea that IR35 should be changed to SDC only, which is what Lisa posted?

IMO, based upon some of her previous posts, Lisa believes we are all under SDC but just won't admit it.

Her business is also under threat.

If they create a new test (ESI) based on SDC, even a bloody plumber would theoretically be under SDC

Fear not - HMRC have brought in Oracle to build the new ESI tool

Well, seems like a couple of MPs are doing something...
