Re: Why...
Check your facts - this legislation affects anybody who operates through a limited liability company.... Freelance GP's, surgeons, builders / tradespeople. In fact IR35 came about to tackle tax avoidance in the building trade, but the focus these days has shifted to IT because, I suspect, employers are so poor at managing the expectations of their employed staff, and that extends to HMRC itself who couldn't even accurately assess the IR35 status of their own contractors so decided to apply a blanket status for ease!
