UK taxman wins tribunal case against BBC presenters

"If the off-payroll working rules apply, workers' fees will be subject to tax and National Insurance contributions but they will not receive other benefits of workers on the payroll, namely holiday or sick pay."

That right there is the centrepiece of the clusterfuck that is IR35. It should be simple enough - if you are forced to pay tax as an employee, you should get employee benefits. That hard to understand?

End result is going to be that contractors will just charge firms even more, renegotiate contracts to work part-time with multiple firms, or just leave
