HM Treasury has announced that it will introduce a targeted anti-avoidance rule (TAAR) to counter false self-employment arrangements in relation to NIC ‘at the next available legislative opportunity’ with retrospective effect from 6 April 2014. This will complement the income tax TAAR in Finance Bill 2014 (cl 16 which inserts new s 46A into ITEPA 2003).
