It's funny that HMRC keep cocking these up.
It's not so funny when you realise that as public opinion DOES see these people as enmployees, there will be changes made to legislation to make them pay. And that will impact us.
The case that he makes his own jokes so he's self-employed is pretty damn thin IMO.See You Next Tuesday -

if they deemed he was an employee why did they limit the investigation to just a 3 year period against just one of his Ltd companies.
he's been on TS since the late 90's why not go back as far as they could and do him for the maximum amount possible?Comment

You can only go to the Employment Appeals Tribunal within three months of the end of your contract to demand employee rights but HMRC can wait six years to claim that you are actually within IR35Last edited by Contractor UK; 14 December 2019, 22:18.I'm alright JackComment

Originally posted by northernladuk View PostBased on what evidence? I'd very much doubt they've considered that. Their job is to collect the tax they think they are owed. Period. Common sense and mitigating circumstances don't seem to factor to them.
The message I will continually post is that HMG oppression can only be countered in the courts, no amount of debate or lobbying will change the oppression. Using the ET, which is outside the influence of HMRC, unless they are the client, is a very good way in my opinion of attacking IR35.
The Matthew Taylor report recommended that tax and employment status determinations should be standardised, but HMG rejected this. So this can only be achieved by using the courts to establish this principle.Comment
