Re: That's going to be interesting ..
HMRC engage contractors in breach of IR35, they always have done. They will only consider the use of contractors sourced via an agency - no direct hires. Starting about a decade ago they refused to accept sole traders as contractors, despite the fact that sole traders pay all of the "taxes they owe" and operate legally and fully within the tax system. They direct the work, they don't permit substitution, they refuse to put people on payroll and they certainly refuse to pay the employer's NI.
