A contract role I was put forward for is now probably going offshore - the client cited lower costs and uncertainty about #IR35

Well - there's always someone who will do it cheaper ....

Why do folks make #IR35 compliance so difficult? It's easy - just behave like a damned business, not a hiring department!

As a consultant I come in, I deliver what was agreed, I go. As the expert you hired, I decide how to do it.

It ain't rocket science.
