Hmm.
Well, to be clear, I was offered PAYE Umbrella and I politely declined. I will be leaving.
I do not want to be part of any message to the HMRC that what they are doing has been well thought out and well implemented. And much less to offer them an increase in revenue earnings - even if in the short term, that does shoot me in the financial foot.Comment

Its been coming
I have seen a lot of contractors do the same and say they have enjoyed the ride but they know it wont be the same. Some of my clients switched from Contract to perm 12-18 months ago as they saw it coming so "got ahead of the curve" to quote them. From what i have seen and can forecast based on experience from whence this occurred on the public sector, most lower skilled roles will be perm only moving forward and it will be the really niche skill sets that remain outside IR35. Companies will still need the skills but they will probably use a consultancy (rather than PSC) to get them.Comment

It was always going to be the permitractors within or ranks that would do-us-in. Like civil servants bogging the country down in useless goo.Comment
