In the coming months the Government will publish:
Off-payroll working—a consultation on how to tackle non-compliance in the private sector, drawing on the experience of the public sector reform. The Government will work with businesses and individuals to mitigate the potential administrative burdens of any future changes.

The above appeared yesterday but so far seems to have escaped comment.
Perhaps everybody is relieved that the "inevitable" adoption of the public sector rules is not something we've all woken up to this morning. I cannot find any reference to this on the websites of any contractor trade body or agency or recruiter or umbrella. Perhaps it's old news.
We have however been thinking about this a bit.
We consider that it will be important for contractors to mobilise to resist the sort of disastrous changes seen in the public sector and that in doing so, it is necessary to have a coalition of skills and inputs that go beyond the narrow confines of tax.
There are a number of interested parties in this who have the organisation and resources to organise this. Trade bodies, umbrellas, client associations, recruiters, contractor accounting firms.
We are a very small player here but we are happy to pitch in with knowledge and in pointing clients in the right direction.
There does however need to be a guiding hand and we call upon the above parties to provide that.
