The bit that sucks, if you are a legitimate contractor, is that rather than clients determining on a case by case basis whether or not a contract falls under IR35, they're short circuiting the whole thing by assuming every contract falls under IR35.

However I suspect this is because _most_ of their contractors are actually just disguised employees, and I say this as a contractor myself. However the legitimate contractors are also getting hit by the backlash now that the clients are on the hook for penalties.

Personally, I'm going to keep contracting past April as I generally only work with small businesses anyway and they can see quite clearly that my contract does not fall within IR35. If however they had 100 contractors instead of say, 1-2, it's much harder to make that determination.
