In reality it is still a very grey area and always will be. If you are a contractor it is likely you have very little expenses (ones I have dealt with have at least) so the calculation actually benefits you slightly initially at least:
If you are under IR35 basically you take the total income, knock off 5% for expenses and the rest has to be a salary (which is where you lose out cos dividends save money).
