It is. As part of the one size fits all society.

HMRC Divide and conquer perhaps?

Isn't working via a brolly almost the same as declaring yourself within IR35? I'm sure T&S is being stopped for those who have said they're within IR35, so isn't that equal?

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

FTFY

the brollies seem to want to change the definition of IR35 to, both, protect and potentially increase their business.

They should really be taking issue with the Government after all it was their decision, also there's nothing to stop brolly users forming their own companies should they wish to do so.

Not sure where that quote originates, but AFAIK Lisa has argued against this as much as anyone. Personally, I'm not too concerned about SDC, although I know it's a minority view around here. However, none of this should be remotely surprising to anyone. On the contrary, I was very surprised by the AS in general and, specifically, by the absence of SDC as the qualifying condition for brollies in the original Blue Book, although I think it made sense not to preempt the IR35 consultation for PSCs. Nevertheless, the subsequent clarification tells us pretty much all we need to know about where this is heading. They aren't going to leave open an obvious pull-factor towards TMI from brollies, and some of the dual providers are already advertising to that effect; to some degree, we do it to ourselves (the wider contracting industry, that is).
