I see they've not moved so quickly on IR35 though ....
They're still on the blatently daft ideas. It'll take a while to get onto the ideas that sounder plausible initially but then got implemented stupidly. As a method to tackle friday-to-monday incorporation, it's been rather like setting out to build a shed but then finding out at the end that you have in fact baked an apple turnover.

Agreed. IR35 exists to solve a real problem, albeit a problem that exists due to other factors. The root cause is that working as a self-employed individual is not something that works well in the UK for IT, although I imagine that's how most tradesmen operate. To avoid the need for IR35, some bigger shake-up is needed which removes the need/advantage of setting up a 1-man-Ltd in the first place. That sounds like a fairly complicated thing to set up.
They could just kill IR35 if it's costing more than it brings in, I guess, since IR35 is kind of like wall-papering over a crack in your wall.
