Public sector IR35 consultation launched

Nope, nowt wrong with intouch albeit they have lost a few decent staff over the years.

This one begins with B is based in Warrington and used to service Managed Service Companies before HMRC put the kaboosh on MSCs....

They also have some rather interesting sidelines within their umbrella businesses that I think may come back to bite those that promote them...

This is of course utterly off-topic here as was IPSE claiming glory for things I don't believe they had any impact on....

You see, that's the problem with a lack of openness and transparency in an organisation that declares "For one, for all" as its strap line. It directly feeds into speculation, whether warranted or not.

Epic fail. There is only one partner firm.

You are mistaken. There is more than one accountancy partner.

You are entitled to your beliefs.

You are of course correct. There's now two, I checked a while ago on the website. When the second one was agreed I don't know, but there doesn't seem to have been the fanfare that accompanied the first one. I guess they just didn't pay as much so didn't get the full monty.

I also said it was offtopic here, yet you commented on it....

In other news wait for the introduction of a new Exchequer and watch for this entire plan be kicked into the long grass :

Got to admit I don't know much about Hammond - do we think the IR35/dividend shafting continue to get worse, or will the can be kicked down the road for another 5 years?

This is nowt to do with Hammond. Tax collection like this belongs to the Financial Secretary which I suspect won't be Gauke anymore..

Plus management in HMRC are screaming after it was pointed out to them what the consequences of this policy will be to their delivery.... Already some clueful people have refused renewals....

PCG flags IR35 concerns to 'Question Time' panel
by Richard Powell at 14:05 11/02/02 (News on IR35)
The Professional Contractors Group highlighted the damaging effects of IR35 on the UK's flexible workforce at a recent 'Question Time' seminar for the recruitment industry at the Institute of Directors.
The 'Question Time' panel featured: Lord Haskins, Chairman of the Better Regulation Task Force; Philip Hammond MP, Opposition spokesman for Trade and Industry; Patience Wheatcroft, City Editor at The Times; Richard Donkin, Employment Correspondent at the Financial Times and Ann Swain, Chief Executive of ATSCo.

The panel came under scrutiny from a senior group of delegates from the top 100 recruitment agencies in the UK, as well as industry representatives.

Mr Hammond said: "If the workforce is to become more flexible we will have to start supporting individual workers to manage and drive their own training. If people spend a small amount of time at each business, then move on, it would be unrealistic to expect them to invest substantial sums in training them. We have to facilitate and support individuals to treat their skills as part of the equipment that they use for their daily work. They have to maintain and upgrade their skills routinely and I think we should support them via the Employment Bill and tax system."
