>Done properly, the IR35 tests WILL correctly identify disguised employees and distinguish them from genuinely independent consultants

No problem with this aspect of IR35, just with the way HMRC has decided who pays most of the penalties arising from 'deemed employment'...

>Mr Pavilicec will of course be very pro IR35...

This should be people's greater concern. They should be lobbying HMRC to bring all arrangements in scope, so those foreign workers could be (and probably are) deemed employees so requiring the liability to fall wholly on the UK employer and agencies...
