Careful what you wish for!
By signing this you are saying that if inside IR35 then you should get full employment rights
As fair as this may sound (which I agree it does sound), companies will think that if we've got to pay a contractor £x00/day and give them employment rights then we might as well hire an FTC and pay a relatively measly salary and a few cheap benefits.......so contracting really will be dead.
In my field/level today it's £500+/day & no benefits or £35k salary & tiny benefits.....there's no comparison
I'd rather we didn't demand employment rights and just pushed for a higher day rate if they want us to accept being inside IR35Last edited by PTP; 14 September 2018, 00:02.Comment

shortsighted govt
Originally posted by Mordac View PostNo they won't. They will be taking more of your income in tax. If you think anyone in the wider world gives a sh!t about that, best of luck to you, but take it from me, they don't, and neither does the government...
assume i earn £400 per day using a ltd company and i pay the min wage and take dividends.
I would also pay corporation tax of approx 10k pa and collect VAT for the govt, approx 20K pa, so the govt gets 30K pa from me in taxes.
If they bring in ir35 for the private sector this will drive lots of contractors to close their business and get a permy role, i would probably be lucky to get more than
£40k permy role, so the the PAYE/NI i would pay on this would be approx 9K.
The govt would lose 21K from me, how is this a good strategyComment
