May 1999 - Government publishes first draft of EAAR Temp to perm fee only allowed if employment business guarantees to find the worker work in its contract with worker.
All evidence quoted is anecdotal.
June 2000 Discussions held with Customs and Excise who agree in principle to work out a VAT concession enabling VAT to be charged on the employment business margin only when domiciliary care charged for. This provides solution to concern in care sector arising out of draft Regulation 7. Institute for Public Policy Research conducted on impact of draft Regulations on the recruitment industry. REC Drivers Division informed and advised to act as agents until draft proposals enforced. The result is clarification of the temp to perm issue.
