Tech contractors begin mass UK.gov exodus in wake of HMRC's IR35 income tax clampdown

Cant see any other option but to walk...

I'm off on 25th march. I think that is the last day I can work and be paid before the 6th April.

It may be that in a month or two a solution will be found with some rework or higher rates but why would we risk getting paid inside IR35 on the same contract making a investigation into affairs likely. It would be easier to stay if HMRC would say there wouldn't be retrospective investigations but they're remaining tight lipped over such things.

The other problem is the trust eroded between public sector and the contracting world. Hard to commit to a contract when the rules change on a regular basis.

Its a line up of own goals when there are so many projects underway and Brexit round the corner....
