Back to Tax assault on self employed construction
workers
Comment
Although the Government
says it is mindful of the current economic difficulties, the SME
construction market is likely to be adversely affected by any
measures brought in to tackle false self-employment.
There is clearly a case
for dealing with the issue of false self-employment, but the
question is whether now is the right time.
The nature of the sector
is such that flexibility, however it may be achieved, is a
significant characteristic of the construction labour market.
Wide spread curtailment of current arrangements will in the short
term have a significant impact on businesses and workers, who are
already struggling to cope.
