Another signicant part of the equation for contractors who are UK Tax Residents is National Insurance, it appears to me that under the legislation which came into force in 2000 it might be quite difficult to prove self employed status and my Financial Advisor
agrees this means at least 20% of salary goes in NI. approx 10% for the EMPLOYERS contribution and the same again as the EMPLOYEE

I mentioned this to Brookfield who became very evasive!

I would be very interested to know whether anyone is successfully claiming self employed status on these contracts

I did it pre 2000 and might have to do it again(God Forbid):
