JR Survey � extended!
As announced in the previous
newsletter, Frontier Economics is conducting a survey on
IR35 as part of the PCG evidence for the JR.
So far, the number of responses has been really great, but
since this is a numbers game, we do need more. The deadline
for the survey has been extended � so if you have not yet completed
it, please try and do so, preferably before end Tuesday 12th
December.
Completing the survey takes 30 to 45 minutes. It has been modified
for faster / easier completion. (Contact details for Frontier
also available if you have any questions)
