The Government has been urged to immediately review the controversial IR35 tax or face the wrath of the nation’s freelancers when it came to election time.

I think they should take to OR out of this, they will face the wrath of the nation anyway....

Since IR35, contracting has virtually died. The sooner it is abolished, the better.

P.S. The Tories have said they would abolish it...

Another rephrase required since labour - the country has virtually gone to shit

Personally I think IR35 is necessary is some form, unfortunately its been incredibly badly implemented. Whether it can ever be implemented fairly is the question - probably not and as such should be scrapped.

"under attack" ?

And a jolly good thing, too. It's utterly pointless, time and money wasting and won't even catch those who it was "supposed" to catch anyway, the so-called FtoM crew.

IR35 was just greed and envy.

Like most New Labour legislation.
