In all seriousness, I don’t see the issue. Things change - it’s called “progress”.
The consequence of this change is yet to be realised - rates might go up; accountants/agents might get creative; we might get employee-Type benefits; the contractor market might be decimated and ex-contractors may be deemed unemployable and unfit for perm work. Who knows? Only time will tell.
Worst case scenario we’ll all be shutting up shop in eighteen months and making use of Entrepreneurs tax relief (thanks Phil).
I’d sooner the burden is passed to the client, as despite reading at length on the subject, I’m still not sufficiently qualified to judge IR35 status in isolation. I’d sooner to be left to focus on what I’m good at.... (tbc!)
