Delay IR35 changes until after the Pandemic & Stock Market crash
Contractors are facing a huge challenge preparing for IR35 in the wake of the Pandemic, Work from home and self isolation advice, with extra strain on those with a hand in the stock markets. Equally, companies are distracted from preparing themselves for IR35.
Because it's placing a huge strain on contractors who don't get the benefits that employees receive during this pandemic such as sick pay. Contractors literally cannot afford to not work.
