Background
The Inland Revenue is a government body and is allowing companies to not use the correct taxation schemes they enforce. Companies are just being idle and lazy so they do not have to run different taxation schemes. IR35 is not for the construction industry where projects have start and end dates. Contractors in this industry are not employees, but instead provide professional services for one off projects.
