Re: I cannot understand why HMRC pursues contractors so much.

"If you don't like how little corporation tax they have to pay then blame the government who set the rules on how it works, not the company working within the system."

I do blame the government that nominally sets the rules. I blame even more the companies who pay huge sums to lobbyists, government entities, think-thanks etc to get laws written for them in a way that they can game the system and save obscene amounts, next to which the huge amounts they pay to get what they want are a relative pittance. And the government officials allowing this are doubly fools for being so cheaply bought.
