What's the point of catching 5,000 people with higher tax bills when you've suddenly had 15,000 exit public sector, go on the dole and claim everything that goes with that? Complete lack of joined up thinking and a lower overall tax break. Even Suity and Wilmslow wouldn't cock it up this much.Work in the public sector? Read the IR35 FAQ hereComment

Originally posted by LondonManc View PostIf you're going from 20,000 outside to 5,000 outside and the rest taking dole to avoid retrograb, then in theory you're generating 10k extra for the 5,000 but losing 15,000 lots of tax that was being paid at the outside IR35 level plus having to provide these people with social support.
Losing 15,000 lots of tax but saving 15,000 lots of salary.
And that's assuming that the 15,000 aren't replaced with other inside IR35 contractors, employees, or Crapita consultants, all of whom will pay tax.
The real issue with all this is nothing to do with tax and everything to do with the Public Sector losing expertise. It then easily costs more than it saves. As with most things in today's politics it's a symbolic political gesture that simply hasn't been thought through. But that's what the public likes these days.Will work inside IR35. Or for food.Comment
