And the first leg is removed

Today's statement confirmed what we had long suspected and then some with the FR Vat change and 5% going.

The devil is in the detail, and all the way through the process the HMRC have struggled to explain the detail. Draft legislation is due to be published on 5th December.

Just a quick tip. None of the answers are 'Ask for two references' and when it asks about rates 'try and pocket 20% of it' probably isn't right either.

Good, not cutting our rates for anyone, unless it started to affect our bottom line, or for any other reason we deem appropriate.

20%? don't you mean 30 to 40%?

I haven't kept up with any of the discussion on this, but if the intermediary (the agent) makes the determination does the PSC have the legal right to challenge their decision in a court?

Whether it "works" or not... the only message from govt will be that it has "worked". On the plus side everyone will be deemed to be a good little employee going via an agency. I also wonder how long it will be for even direct contractors to be hit too.
