About this tag
The fcdo tag on WindowsForum.com follows discussion of the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office and what its published accounts reveal about public-sector compliance. The tagged thread examines the department's annual figures on IR35 determinations among highly paid temporary off-payroll workers, a group that includes Windows, cloud, cyber, and data specialists who contract through personal service companies. The coverage is careful to note the limits of the data: the recorded population covers only off-payroll workers earning at least £245 a day, so the numbers do not by themselves prove a broader crackdown on IT contractors. The focus stays on compliance risk and how public-sector hiring rules affect specialist technical contractors.
