    everyone thinks they are the cream. Find me a contractor who feels he / she is the dregs.

    In any case there will be very few outside contracts. If, say, 33% of contracts stay outside they are suddenly looking at 3 times the previously available talent. Hence they an push the rates down.

      The latter. They don't want to bother evaluating

        Ah. So in fact they haven't deemed anyone inside or outside of IR35 at all, because IR35 no longer applies.

          Had an interview with them many years ago for a perm role. Interview process dragged on for almost 3 months and four rounds of interviews. Just before the final interview their HR bod told me that they had radically altered the scope of the role. The whole process was a joke which was a shame as I really liked the sound of working for them and the senior management I met seemed really switched on.

            This is a really good point.

            I've lost count of the number of recruiters who've been publishing articles and guidance about IR35, claiming that you can increase your rates by X% to offset any extra tax burden operating inside IR35.

            I haven't heard of any large clients who have been proposing to do this, it's usually the opposite - rates stay the same, take it or leave it (in effect take a pay cut.)
