Intentionally circumventing the swear filter. Two week ban

Might as well close down the "First Timers" thread. Even Labour didn't manage to kill contracting, but Phil The Geek just did. Milk the last year folks, it was the best of times...

I wonder if he's just kicking the can down the road... We'll be in b*exit this time next year...

Looks like the gravy train has finally come off the tracks.

It came into the public sector but Doctors are still working outside of IR35..... A lot can happen between now and then we we will see what solutions are offered up.

Can't see how that might make any difference. Clients won't want to touch us with a sh!tty stick, with all that extra legwork, so we're permies or toast. At least that choice is ours...

Still plenty of outside gigs in the public sector so not sure if this is all going to be as bad as some are thinking.

Exactly. If you are outside IR35, or can become so, then why be worried. (so long your clients aren't idiots)

OMG he's going on - bored of Phil now, I want to hear Jezza's fire and brimstone

More work for the agencies, I suspect a few of them will be setting up their own brolly companies and steering contractors towards them. Assuming this isn't already happening.

For now, HMRC are looking at these with interest and asking for details of those deemed outside. The writing is on the wall, they will cajole, harass and bully until they get the result they want, everyone on PAYE.
