The current key benefits to switching your website to the secure HTTPS standard already include:

Now the Treasury wants to extend its IR35 legislation to the private sector in April 2020.
Mike Cherry, national chairman of the FSB, said: “The self-employed certainly don’t need an IR35 rule change that makes hiring contractors less attractive. We’ve already heard noises from big corporates to indicate that, if this change does take effect in April as planned, they’ll pull the plug on sole traders.
“Common sense dictates that a delay to the April roll-out of these rules is now needed.”
Back in September, chartered accountants also called for the IR35 tax change to be delayed. The Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales (ICAEW) said the date
