There was an employment lawyer on the BBC News talking about the governments plan to provide workers impacted by Covid-19 with up to 80% of their pay. When asked how this would work, he said it would be managed via HMRC and likely that staff would be "furloughed" by their employers (he then went on to describe what that was).
We often read here a "I'm not an employee as employees can't be furloughed" argument to validate an outside IR35 (self) determination. I wouldn't put it past HMRC to now use this as a counter-argument in future.
