Eamonn Holmes reveals tax probe that could cost him millions he says: they are coming to get me | Daily Mail Online

"The 58-year-old revealed he has been waiting 17 weeks to hear the result of the ruling in his case. 'It has cost me a lot of money to fight it and trust me, in that court room there were a lot of them against me.'"

is there a more reliable source than the Mail?
I'd be interested to know what exactly HMRC are saying that makes them think that Eamonn is inside IR35.
If it is actually a test case, and not journalistic hyperbole, that would be useful information.

As for Ant or Dec..... Do HMRC even know which one is which, as I've got no bloody idea.

Haha

They did a deal with the actors etc and said they wouldn't pursue them if they backed screwing the little man, HMRC then attacked the little Guy & won. Now the glitterati are in the sights. I feel so sorry for them

There should be zero difference in taxation between contractors/workers/permies

Minimum hourly wage for the first two categories should be higher due to lower job security

Everything else market will decide

He's Irish...

And he's wrong. Nobody disputes he's a freelance. HMRC are only interested in his relationship with the BBC. that is almost certainly caught by IR35, as he should well realise.

Incidentally the only concession HMG have made with Equity members is that they can pay their agents for finding work. There has never been an exemption for IR35.

Possibly publicly there was no agreement, but the facts seem to follow my suggestion.

To Paddy your wild accusations in negative rep are as credible as most of your posts.

I do pay my taxes.


The problem is that HMRC don't assess taxes properly and the law is sadly lacking. Its a subjective decision whether you are subject to IR35 that is why they have to take you to court and still frequently lose.
