Springbok,
Uk Inland Revenue 'IR35' can be interpreted in many different ways. There is no necessity to work for more than one operator providing that one works for one operator from more than one base. Bearing in mind that a pilot works from a minimum of two bases every time he goes flying, i.e. there and back again, that particular requirement of 'IR35' has been fulfilled.
If the taxman does come looking for unpaid income taxes then there is only one person responsible for paying those taxes, the individual. If the taxman cannot locate the individual then he may go knocking on Brookfield's door and one would assume, to avoid paying unpaid taxes themselves, that they will assist the taxman with his enquiries in locating the individual.
There are atleast 6 posts above mentioning the word 'salary' and apparently non payment of 'salary' has been reported to the police. Careless talk costs lives, as they say, and if the word 'salary' has been used in police report(s) then those said individuals had better hope and pray that the taxman doesn't become involved.
And no, I'd don't work for Brookfield!
