Thanks for the info. I'll keep more updated on this from now on... I still cannot believe that this has been approved, ie, contracting conditions are not that great if you cannot organise your financial affairs in a convenient way to cover for periods where you're out of job, or other eventualities. I guess they're just trying that some people move onto permanent positions? but not sure if clients will want to get more permanent employees at that point... We'll see how this ends up

Between that and their desire to use SDC as the determining factor everything was going swimmingly for HMRC until the Uber ruling appeared. I do hope my letter regarding the consequences of that and the equality act 2010 has reached the appropriate red boxes by now...Last edited by eek; 15 November 2016, 23:17.merely at clientco for the entertainmentComment
