We the undersigned petition the Prime Minister to revoke Intermediaries Legislation (IR35). More details
Submitted by Ian Ellis – Deadline to sign up by: 14 May 2007 – Signatures: 112
IR35 was a way of gathering extra tax revenues (without raising the basic rate for taxation) by picking on Computer Contractor's who work in a way that suits the relatively short life-cycles of the industry.
It paints tens of thousands of honest hard working tax payers as tax avoiders, whilst giving no recognition to the risk and extra work that they have to put in to make there living.
