So this CUK article...

...on IR35 reform sounds awfully like picking up the ball that IPSE dropped, or did I miss something?

IR35. It’s time for change: reform, repeal or replace?

From taxing clients instead of contractors to creating a new legal status for freelancers, alternatives to IR35 have been proposed for years. ContractorUK is examining what change could look like, who would benefit, and whether the contracting industry can help make it happen.

It looks like it.

This slightly ignores one key element. Dave Chaplin, inter alia, is saying hat hiring a contractor under the latest iteration (JSL) de-risks the client's use of contractors, meaning blanket bans and the like are now unnecessary. Not been following the issue as much as I used to so can't really argue either way.

Repealing IR35 is in the Tories literature as a firm commitment. Of course, what HMT will have to say about it is the real question!
