Personally I think 90% of current IT contractors will be classified as inside IR35 by big clients (forced by their risk / human remains depts).
To me this marks the effective end of meaningful IT contracting in the UK.
Thankfully I should be retired by then.Comment

Originally posted by DaveB View PostThat last bit depends on how many cases we see between now and there where contractors claim employment benefits forcing a re-appraisal of their status. We've seen two cases recently that impacted both the end client and the agencies involved due to poor management of the assessment process. More of those will highlight that declaring al contracts as inside still carries risk and potential liabilities.
It's not a done deal yet, and I still think there will be room for and demand for contractors to work outside IR35. It will take effort from both sides to make it work.
A truly independent contractor is a valuable resource for a client. Client's will make it work where they need to.
Where they don't need the independence, and need control , i.e. just bums on seats they want to be able to bin at short notice, they'll just declare, correctly, as inside.
The lessons learned in the public sector before April 2020 will only reinforce this.See You Next TuesdayComment

Two years off and on, but don’t see the relevance to the quote as I’m clearly referencing legislation in general, not specific legislation affecting independent contractors.Comment

13% of 30K is not great = 13% of 300K is betterComment

The only hope is effective lobbying for a new model of contracting. Eg. One where the contractor bids for a contract/work order all in, no requirements on hours worked, location, supervision. It just becomes about the deliverable. I have done this, many could do this, it just requires a cultural shift to make it more common.Last edited by ZARDOZ; 29 October 2018, 20:27.Comment
