How can tax law for contractors be made simpler?
Experts have been calling for an overall simplification of tax law for some years. Some aspects on tax avoidance like IR35 have been repeatedly damned as badly drafted and hard to apply. But a great deal of tax law needs clarity.
Shouldn't you know what you can deduct from expenses or not without consulting an accountant? Shouldn't it be clear how to write your contracts so that the tax status is easy to understand? Shouldn't we have a clear definition of self-employment?
Do you have a specific suggestion for simplifying contractor tax?
Tell us about it.
