This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.

We understand that you are concerned about the new IR35 arrangements, but we're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do. Companies cannot force people to become employees, it is up to individuals whether to accept employment.

We have published the following petitions, which you might like to sign:

Delay implementation of IR35 legislation reform until COVID-19 is resolved: petition.parliament.uk/petitions/552730

Introduce a statutory regulator for IR35 assessments: petition.parliament.uk/petitions/574730
