Stop the government proposing any changes to IR35 regime in the private sector

Closed 36 signatures

What the petition asks

After Philip Hammond's catastrophic U-turn with the proposed increase in National Insurance. It's my belief that this government is unaware of the significant negative impact it would have by trying to apply the public sector’s new IR35 framework onto the private sector.
Scrap IR35 legislation reform proposals for public sector off-payroll workers.
