Re: Nah, not for me.
By the statement above you're describing yourself as either Inside IR35 or a disguised employee.
Imagine you make hats and a company wants you to make hats for them for six months. You make plans, prepare and then few months in, they say you know what we no longer need your hats. Being upset about it does not make you an employee.
And if you make particularly good hats and a company keeps coming for more, it does not mean they should employ you either.
As a contractor you're a fungible resource to be ejected when a project / task is completed (most typical contracts).
If you are providing a good service, why should a company using it be deprived from it or provider penalised with a punitive tax?
Basically big consultancies were pissed off by independents undercutting their rates and greased treasury and HMRC to put an end to that. Chancellor with his wife's Infosys was the man they needed to finish the job.
