From my experience, I feel IR35 is actually set out to be beneficial for the worker and the organization, whereas it looks as if the US policy is set out to be beneficial for the IRS and US government.

Although in my circumstances it was quite easy for me to be IR35 compliant...so I may be biased.

IR35 always seemed very reasonable to me. The only thing annoying was that it could affect those who were being genuinely entrepreneurial because it had to be general enough to catch all the tax cheats.

Still, in the end it worked out OK. Annoyingly, it also worked out OK for many of the tax cheats, who just worded their contracts differently.
