Apologies didnt really read through and hadnt realised u were talking about people not paying taxes
. Thought u were talking about people taking a brookfield contract in general, which in my opinion is not that bad of a deal.
I do agree that the people not paying taxes will eventually screw themselves over, although there are several legal loop holes that one can use to save money on a self employed contract. Several costs (petrol, cell phone etc) that would usually not be tax free may be claimed as being involved in your profession and hence the tax paid on these items may be claimed back at the end of the financial year.
Not really 100% morally correct... but definately very convinient and legal.
