yes, good tactic isn't it!:laugh

the CIS scheme was introduced in its earliest form in 1972.

I'm as prepared as I can be.

question too difficult for you? I'm asking for actual examples of what happened to those that were found subject to IR35 and were served with a large tax bill. We've heard nothing about how the BBC...

a way of settling the issue might be to lodge a FOI request for the BBC to publish the numbers of their employees/contractors who are members of each political party.

they must be, because I still seem to be irritating many!:laugh

I can't say I've seen the answer to this question - who has the liability fallen on, the individual contractor or the Ltd. Co.? My understanding is that it is the Ltd. Co. that should have applied...

we are all supposed to be anonymous!

2nd prize? 19.5 for me.

the validity of any substitution clause is key in the CEST assessment and also in those of QDOS et al. So, the courts might not place the utmost of importance on it, but CEST and QDOS certainly do.

excellent analysis.

yes, now it is. But in effect it's the same as IR35. The contractor has to prove that they are independent.

my keyboard is old and doesn't work properly sometimes, just like me!:smile

you know the story full well.

I've never claimed that. The situation many of us find ourselves in was created entirely by the clients for their advantage. It is human nature to make the best of any situation we find ourselves in,...

they tried and lost!:smile

that's HMRC's (and their moles) take on it. But OK, point me to any case where the judge ruled the substitution clause as a sham and threw it out and then judged the individual as an employee.

yes, it was always designed to hit us and no one else.

however, the principle of any person working in an employment type role being taxed as an employee existed before IR35. A friend (yes I do...

it's not about what taxes are paid or how they are paid, it's about the actual employment status determining what taxes are due and how they are paid. In that context, I contend that a sole trader...

clearly I (Edward VIII mode) don't agree with you, for reasons that I've highlighted previously.

[QUOTE=northernladuk;2731010]Interesting comparison here.

thanks

"Judge Dean acknowledged that there was some restriction on the right of substitution but was satisfied that the clause pointed away from an employment contract. Interestingly, she gave no...

accepted, but surely that is the crux of the issue. If employment status is used to determine IR35 liability, then surely the same rules should apply to sole traders. It's not the commercial...

wouldn't that be a great story if it were true!

Surely it's not about avoiding tax, is about whether or not the relationship and the engagement is one of employment? So I contend that it is theoretically possible to be a sole trader working for a...

yes, but let's investigate the underlying issues. The whole debate around IR35 has been about individuals who were in reality working as employees, whatever commercial framework that they were...

we are fast moving to the point where we will only believe what we see and experience ourselves, given all these conspiracy theories. Lucy Worsey's programs on the great American fibs are worth...

50 years for me shortly! But Alice Roberts would do something for me!

how could "Points of View" ever be credible? Presented on the BBC by BBC employees. Bizarre!

bromide in your tea

that would do nothing to quell the primeval desires. They can be unrequited you know!

I can't find an IT related one. The Autoclenz case wasn't really typical of our industry. I can find one which ruled the opposite way though, i.e. the contractual right of substitution over ruled the...

how are we mortal males supposed to control our primeval desires when faced with any of these ladies?:smile

We are told that there are approx. 11000 + deaths from flu and related issues each year in the UK. However, only the most serious cases are confined to bed in hospital. We are told that Coronavirus...

and who pray was that?

did you attend the court hearing and did you read the judgement? Come on, I'm intrigued as to how you've formed your opinion.

I would tend to agree. Being someone's employee at the very least could mean that they could ask you to undertake tasks which you were not required to undertake as a contractor. If I became an...

Is there any case law surrounding substitution where a contractual right of substitution, however fettered, was not accepted by any court, and declared a sham?

what's that?:D

only the gullible would so succumb. However, given his FOI campaign, I would say he's having more of an effect on the issues that IPSE is, who have claimed for many years that they are influencing...

He is in contact with people on the ground. Perhaps he is being fed opinions and incorrect information. I know he's been given what appears to be incorrect information about my client. I'm trying to...

for all his faults, with his FOI requests, he has published more information than IPSE ever did. He doesn't have to maintain a seat at the table, so he can be as confrontational as he pleases.

it is General, so everything is allowed! even trolling!

just my own experiences.

OK, but for reasons that I can't determine, the search facility isn't working for me today, when it has in the past. It's not even picking up any of my posts, let alone those that I search for with a...

well, I didn't in the past, but it doesn't seem to be working today.

I was referring to the search facility on these fora.

unfortunately, it's sport for some on here. But as was often said on Dad's army, "they don't like it up them, Mr. Mainwaring".

he is still trying and may be making more headway than IPSE ever did or are ever likely to. Sometimes, these issues take some time to bear fruit.

they already know about it, it's in the Parliamentary Solicitor's archives!:laugh

actually it would help if the search facility worked.
