The government is facing calls from a 200-strong group of MPs to amend its 20-year-old IR35 tax-avoidance legislation over fears that its misuse is leaving growing numbers of contractors effectively working for companies as “zero-rights” employees.
The MPs in question, banding together as the Loan Charge All-Party Parliamentary Group (APPG), are calling for the IR35 legislation to be amended during the passing of this year’s Finance Bill to ensure contractors that are taxed like salaried workers receive the same workplace benefits too.
