    Wonder if they are likely to try and claw this back from the contractors themselves, or if HMRC will double dip by going after them all individually.

      They can't. The law says the liability is for the fee payer.

        News hot off the press - Alcock successful in appeal against HMRC. Sounds like the HMRC case was a bit of a fiasco in the end.

          From reading the press releases, it doesn't look to me like Alcock completed CEST himself, nor did the client. The CEST "evidence" was that someone who was advising the lawyers had put the contract through CEST and answered the questions and got an outside IR35 determination.

            yes, on further reading this looks like what happened.
