HMRC determines roles are inside IR35
And here's the rub. As has been demonstrated time and again, HMRC's interpretation of IR35 is wrong.
Contractors are prepared to take the chance that they have to defend themselves. Many companies are choosing not to take the chance that they have to defend their decision.
And this was HMRC's plan all along. They don't want to get the decision right, they just want to scare companies into cowing to their ill-informed opinion. They want to bully people into ignoring the law. So far, they are succeeding in many cases, but please remember that's what they are doing.
