Re: Do the right thing

When they suddenly increase taxes drastically and you don't get anything more to show for it, that doesn't seem great.

"IR35-caught" broadly means you are not only taxed as an employee, but worse. You have to pay the employer's NI as well as employee NI, for instance. And you don't get sick/holiday pay plus can be dismissed without notice (in real terms, you're often on what is effectively a 0-hour contract).
