757 Driver - I'm not really sure how HMRC would enforce something like that. I work as a contractor because Brookfield/RYR let me do so and provide no other way of working for them. I pay an accountant and he sees to it that I remain within the law and pay the tax (Corporation, Income, Capital Gains and VAT) I owe. I do not have an option to go onto PAYE.
If, by HMRC rules, I should be an employee (which is debatable), then that would be a matter for HMRC to take up with Brookfield, not me, surely? I've already paid the tax under the system of work that I find myself in.
