The intention was to sweep up the consultants. They even bragged about getting an extra £1 billion out of these people.
It was mostly about enforcing a clearer class distinction between dirty workers and good clean capitalists (who are handed a lower tax bill).
The list of rules actually has an interesting historical parallel - the Soviet Union would deport peasants ruled "outside ir35" to siberia and confiscate their assets in a process known as dekulakization.
