PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

I think you misunderstood the point I was making. If you're a genuine contractor you're running a real business, and the two criteria I mentioned are easy to satisfy and all you need to prove it.

IR35 was brought in mainly because IT Contractors on long term contracts were really temporary employees and therefore not paying tax properly. It was a fudge to allow them and similar white collar "contractors" to continue dodging tax, mainly

It's simply not right that an employee on £100 a day is paying more tax than the contractor sat next to him doing a similar job on £300 a day

I've got no sympathy with anyone or any employer getting done under IR35 because they're engaging in tax avoidance. They're no different to non-Doms or those using tax havens.
Thats a pretty skewed view.
Nothing illegal about tax avoidance, tax evasion however...

Plus the employee on £100 a day gets all employment benefits - paid holidays, sick pay, pension, maternity leave, training, redundancy etc etc

The contractor gets none of this, plus has to pay his own PL insurances, accountants, training etc, corporation tax etc etc

Doesnt seem right to me they should pay the same tax with none of the associated benefits
 
You not got this won yet?? What's the hold up?
All our legals are out celebrating Newcastles Cup Win. See Jack Grealish 2023!! The learned KCs regard this as a victory against the nasty red shirt Yankee owners running the PL and the sheep clubs.

Well done BTW, gave me a lot of enjoyment that did on Sunday. You did fans all over the UK a favour and it was well deserved.
 
Oliver Holt already has turned on them.

The bitter ****.
He really is a grade a Arsenal hole. He looks like he needs a good wash in a sheep dip.

Vile, smelly and bitter. Imo the male equivalent of Melissa ' air quote guilty ' Reddy who always looks to me like she is plastered with make up but totally minging and hasn't washed/ changed her underwear and bed sheets for about 6 months.

Both give me the ick physically and annoy me immensely.

Shall I say how I really feel.....:-)
 
@Ric any idea what the most number of pages that were put on a single thread in an hour, and what the thread was?

This one will surely surpass it.
I think it's an important public service announcement to remind folk that clicking the thread title, not the page number, brings you to the last page/post you read.
 
I wish I knew when the verdict was being announced so I could clear out my work load for that day.
I reckon I’ll need 12 clear hours after the verdict either way
If it goes for us I’ll need time to digest everything, read Twitter and message City hating friends and anyone who’s said we’re cheats, as well as post on various football forums.

If it goes against us I’ll have to turn off all devices and go for a long walk.

I’ve already thought about this and under no circumstance do I want to be in work when it’s announced, or at any type of social gathering or with friends or anything.
