"however we need to remember that even inside IR35 our day rates and NET take home will likely be more than we would be able to achieve if in permanent employment"
So, that indicates that your employer* would be paying you to not take your employment benefits. This is dangerous and is exactly why it should not be allowed. An inside IR35 role is an employee role, and employment benefits are given to all employees.
Taken further, what if a company started classifying its staff as "Inside IR35 Contractors". The taxes would be the same, but none of the employee benefits would exist.
Employment rights should apply to all employees, and "Inside IR35 Contractors" are, effectively, employees.
* I have chosen the word "employer" specifically because, as stated several times, "Inside IR35 Contractors" are effectively employees.
Biting the hand that feeds IT
