Why this Labour War Criminal is not in jail I’ll never know!

Been mildly entertaining listening to wireless today and hearing a succession of ‘tax experts’ lambasting Gov & HMRC over the extreme complexities and apparent disconnects in relation to employment status following the Uber (employed v self employed) court ruling. 
 

Doesn't affect me directly but I suspect some Arb outfits that still seem to advertise and engage ‘self employed’ staff on a regular basis may need to re-examine potential issues as this ruling is interpreted and implemented more broadly throughout gig economies.

I did think of your situation whilst I was ruminating earlier. 
 

Tax and employment liabilities have been allowed to become so unbelievably complex and contradictory that HMRC are able to ‘strong arm’ the little man into submission 

 

What worked for me when I had a little dance with Hector was, every time they quoted a reg, I insisted that they send me a link to the BIM so I could read it myself. 
 

Uncanny how often they we’re ‘interpreting’ or ‘misapplying’ the so called regulations.
