Over the last month the coalition government has been taking suggestions from the public on how they can save money quickly and effectively. Some have argued for the scrapping of the digital switchover while others have suggested making MP’s use hostels rather than a have a second home.
A number of people have also taken the opportunity to argue for the repeal of IR35 due to its ineffectiveness in raising tax revenues.
The time has now passed for drawing up your own ideas for the Spending Challenge, but you can now vote for those you like best. The most popular suggestions will be reviewed and those with the most potential will be ‘investigated in further detail.’
The deadline is August 31, so if you’re a freelancer or contractor who’s passionately opposed to IR35 then now might be a good time to let your feelings known.
Of course, the Government is already reviewing the legislation, so it can be argued that the vote would be moot. Still, it can’t be a bad idea to keep the momentum going…
There’s a number of IR35 scrapping suggestion on this link.
