There appears to be a perception that widespread policing by HMRC does not occur. Change to the rules will not remove the need for HMRC to actively enforce compliance.

CIPP response to Intermediaries Legislation (IR35): discussion document 5 October 2015
The CIPP has submitted its written response to HM Revenue & Customs discussion document on the subject of Intermediaries legislation IR35.
The CIPP has worked together with BDO in gathering views and opinions in a joint survey that feed in this response. The statistics quoted are from CIPP respondents only but the overall outcomes are consistent with the joint survey findings. The Intermediaries Legislation (IR35): discussion paper, readily acknowledging that it is yet at an early stage for making change, is looking to explore options that will make IR35 legislation more effective in protecting the exchequer and look to ‘level the playing field’ in what it perceives to be a widespread abuse of the current system. We consider that the timing for change isn’t yet right, many changes under the heading of improvements and simplifications have been made recently. We believe therefore that a small amount of time be granted to allow for a period of review – to establish whether those changes will indeed bring forward the improvements they are predicted to make. However, in the meantime, HMRC should: raise the profile of the existing IR35 regime, by improving guidance raise the profile of the penalties that exist under IR35, using a variety of mediums to disseminate the information monitor and review the data provided under the new reporting mechanisms by employment intermediaries.
