Former England international and Match of the Day presenter, Gary Lineker has won a multi-million pound claim from HMRC, after a tax tribunal ruled that IR35 didn't apply in his case.

Representative group, IPSE has given its views on some of the measures in the Spring Budget which will affect freelancers and the self employed.
|
Budget proposals to change pension allowances to encourage early retirees back into work could benefit older contractors thinking of returning to the work-place.
|
Although the Budget promoted 'Back to Work' measures for many sections of the workforce, including the older 'returners' and young parents, the Government has been accused of missing an opportunity to target the self-employed sector.
|
Chancellor Jeremy Hunt's first Budget was aimed at encouraging people to return to work. Here are the key measures aimed at that - and other annoucements.
|
1. Gary Lineker is a media-savvy "national treasure."
2. This government seems to listen to highly paid footballers.
3. Gary Lineker apparently has personal experience of crazy IR35 rules; although probably not (yet) their unfair, counterproductive effects on the "little people" who work so hard to keep the UK economy working; people whose precious skills & efforts the UK so badly needs if it is every to break out of the current problems.
4. He's probably respected by the party which originally introduced IR35 in 1999. So his support would be useful both before and after the next General Election.

Does BBC dispute with Gary Lineker have an impact on his IR35 status
|
HMRC has issued multiple updates to the off-payroll working guidance section (IR35) ahead of next week's Spring Budget.
|
With just two weeks to the Spring Budget, even the most optimistic IR35 reformers are finding it difficult to convince themselves there will be any positive changes on the horizon.
|
New research suggesting the self-employed sector’s contribution to the UK economy fell by an estimated £25bn in 2022 is a 'wake up call' for government to change course on its agenda for the nation’s smallest businesses, according to IPSE, the UK’s freelancer trade body.
