Many European countries require mandatory pension payments from self-employed, which one under Brookfields contract will be. Up here in Scandinavia mandatory pesion contribution is around 20% from gross pay. I don't know UK law though, but I suspect there is some mandatory payment, like it or not they need to be paid, thus deducting your net pay. If I understood correctly from a previous post, Brookfields will pay only into a continental European account (pls correct if wrong). If this is the case one must also know regulations of that particular country to be able to comply with local rules. In a worst case scenario one could get in trouble with authorities by accidently breaching the law. This whole Brookfields thing is such a mess it would take a professional to sort it out. Do be beware of this.
The 45e/h (minus the 4e/h for recurrent training) might seem good a first glance, but after the math is done it should be a definite pass. But hey, this is only my opinion...
