Give many large client organisations (mine included - RBS) are side-stepping the IR35 debate by forcing a ban on PSCs, does anyone here thing that the edge-case likelihood of a delay/repeal of IR35 will make any difference at all?
Isn't the damage done? Does anyone see companies rethinking their PSC bans in the event of a IR35 miracle?

A 20% cut will really twist the knife. I suggest that won't happen given the panic on good people leaving in the past two months due to IR35Comment

I suggest that won't happen given the panic on good people leaving in the past two months due to IR35Rule Number 1 - Assuming that you have a valid contract in place always try to get your poo onto your timesheet, provided that the timesheet is valid for your current contract and covers the period of time that you are billing for.
I preferred version 1!Comment

Or (and I'd not immediately reject this), some contractors took what was happening to them and assumed it was an across-the-board policy as a defensive mechanism.Comment
