It's a controversial but defensible position TBH
Employers....
- Now had do to a load of additional bullshit paperwork
- Lost a lot of good talent who wouldn't work as FCTEs
- Generally had to offer more money and longer contracts to compensate
Contractors....
- Were already benefitting less from LTD company working due to reduction in taxable allowances
- Found themselves in a better place should they actually be able to work outside IR35, or
- Got longer contracts as FCTEs at more money, or
- Left the market for better things
- Now had do to a load of additional bullshit paperwork

I agree with everything on this page. Also umbrella now as no1 will accept direct anymore.
In terms of IR35 for Employers, I think it puts onus on contractors (open to scrutiny, audits etc) and employers dont have to make NI contributions, paid leave etc.
Maybe its 50/50 as Howard said.
I am umbrella now and contract ends in April, big consumer brand client lets see what they do.

nah IR35 was Hammond and if you are presuming that Sunak would have befitted because of Infosys, I dont think so, IR35 penalised employers more than employees/contractors
