1st December, 2000 - JR Survey

JR Survey
PCG has commissioned Frontier Economics to conduct an analysis of the effects of IR35 on the contractor market.

It is absolutely essential that we obtain as much data as possible to strengthen our case for the forthcoming JR. Please help us to help you by filling in the survey. It should take 30 to 45 minutes to complete - a pdf version is available for download so you can prepare answers before completing the survey on-line. (Contact details for Frontier also available if you have any questions)

Presentation

Send Christmas Cards
Following the much discussed 'postcard campaign,' contractors who are currently working abroad because of IR35 are invited to send Christmas cards back to the UK to demonstrate once again that the legislation is damaging to the knowledge based economy. "Gone Abroad" Contractors are invited to send cards to the Paymaster General, their last MP, former agency and former (blue chip) client contacts - all of whom claim to be unaffected by contractors working abroad.
