Ir35 Proposals

EDM number 964 in 1998-99, proposed by Robert Smith on 01/11/1999.

That this House notes with concern the Government's proposals, commonly referred to as IR 35, to counter tax avoidance by some one-person company contractors which should be curbed, the present proposals are potentially very damaging to United Kingdom industry, particularly in the areas of information technology, engineering and offshore contracting; and calls on Her Majesty's Government to consult more intensively with industry representatives on the detailed proposals and to review the proposals in light of the genuine concerns of those affected.

This motion has been signed by a total of 40 MPs.
