10 years later IR35 is very much more of a risk and pain than it was then - no progress whatsoever - PCG becomes IPSE and is neutralised by the current gov. I think most of what they sell can be bought more cheaply elsewhere. Hiscox do £100k of IR35 insurance for £60 a year. Personally I don't see the point of IPSE.
As for IR35 - it's difficult to deal with a government department that will ignore everything they're told, but are you paying up under it or do you know how to put yourself outside it? Assuming the latter, how do you think that happened?Blog? What blog...?Comment

The total Plus package would cost around £1000 on the open market, although obviously not everyone needs all the various bundled add-ons so it's not that strong a selling point.

Surely IPSE can't be trying to take credit for telling people how to be outside IR35 ? Hahah. You must be kidding. The government out manoeuvred IPSE. I'm not saying they are bad - I just don't see the point of them.Comment

I won't go into a long debate about how to prove a negative, but IPSE and others (ICAEW, REC and so on) have had many quiet successes preventing bad things happening. Don't confuse motion with progress.Blog? What blog...?Comment
