Response to Dept of Finance consultation paper on Contractors
The Departments of Finance and Social Protection issued a Consultation paper on what they term Intermediary-type Structures ie Contractors with a call for submissions closing on 31 March 2016.
We have reviewed the Consultation Paper and are disappointed it does not engage with the reality of the world of professional contracting and is more narrowly focussed on perceived losses of revenue to the Exchequer.
References to zero hours contracts appear as emotive headline grabbing comments but have little or no reality to Intermediary-type contracts.
