    IR35 Reform Private Sector- News, Rumors

    I keep hearing differing opinions on what's coming next. However, most of the people I spoke with agree with this- there will be a reform similar to the public sector, especially now with the worsening economic situation. The only question is when would that happen...

    With PS they could control the employers.

    And in some cases PS ended up paying alot more. You would have thought they would have learned their lesson.

      It just doesn't make any sense whichever way you dress it up. It will be a monumental cock-up.

      This government will still go ahead with it.

      Time for Plan B.

      He had a negative bluety on a quackhandle and was quadraspazzed on a lifeglug.

      I look forward to your all knowing and likely sarcastic and unhelpful reply.

            Just a couple of months ago we were all saying "all we know is they won't announce it ahead of a General Election"...

            Our thinking is that they'll have to bring it in at some point or else admit to creating a two-tier system with the Public Sector being made more expensive to run than the Private Sector. Make your own political arguments on that one, I'm not touching it with a barge pole.


            Sadly, it's easier for the media to point at contractors and shout "tax-dodgers" than it is to present a balanced argument for the benefits and challenges of contracting. Where the media leads, the politicians usually follow.

            Only hope (and I hate myself a little for saying this) is serious lobbying from the front-benchers best friends who would prefer their contractor costs did not rise, thank you very much.

                  Not sure about the go abroad bit (doing far too much of that at the moment regardless) but I expect I will be working for far more foreign companies going forward...
