Would have posted this on the IR35 is dead thread, but just couldn't bear to intervene with an on-topic post when things had gotten so interesting.... 
This published in Private Eye last week (page 26):
"An internal HMRC document seen by the Eye reveals that 2,150 jobs are to be cut...
...The largest single reduction (409 jobs) will be made in checking that employers meet their tax obligations, including "IR35 work [the contentious rule that deems many contractors to be employees]""
Just reading it brought a tear to my eye, thinking of all those PAYE compliance officers who would be hanging up their thumbscrews and meathooks and looking for work that actually contributes to the economy.
I'm thinking of starting a charitable fund to put them to some useful purpose. Any suggestions?
