Taxman ‘not doing enough’ to prepare contractors’ clients for IR35 reform

Yet it is HMRC’s disagreement in July 2018 with almost all accounting, legal and status advisers about MOO being excluded from CEST, which was yesterday exercising experts.

In particular, while the Chartered Institute of Taxation outlined to the Revenue at the time -- more than a year ago -- why Mutuality should be included in CEST, the CIOT says it was asked not to disclose that it did so until this month.

CIOT Member Graham Webber, tax director at WTT Consulting reflected last night: “Whilst the CIOT view is to be welcomed, it would have obviously been better to have shared this in real time and before the draft Finance Bill, now before parliament, became a reality.

“I suspect it is HMRC who insisted that a view contrary to own, discussed perhaps six months ago and reduced to writing 4 months ago, was delayed from publication.”

what chance has any lobbying organisation have when the CIOT can be "persuaded" by HMRC not to publish details which are contrary to HMRC policy!

I mean, this isn't hard to determine.

Perhaps the "persuaded" could have been in single quotes instead but I don't feel that was your complaint.

Or you could have clicked through the link JTB provided if you were interested enough.

as a result of previous criticisms, I had asked how I might encapsulate what I was quoting in a window, but no one has advised. As I've said, I'm an IBM mainframe dinosaur and I'm not that familiar with PC techniques.

Hope my edit helped.

It's gone now but with quotes within the article itself I'm sure that logic would have failed.. But it's fixed now.

Better still there is a little icon with a speech bubble in the tools at the top of the post. That puts it in for you. You just paste the text in to it.
