Doodledandy-Yeah I thought this was still going on, self employed hey? Well you're not! And you're getting ripped off. Bear in mind as they don't class you as an employee they don't have to pay a pension (the new pension rules don't apply), and they don't have to pay employer's National Insurance contributions.

Read my post above. You'd be doing nothing wrong by accepting this contract, but it's a tax dodge on behalf of the company employing you. I do think in time all of the people on "self-employed" contracts will be bought under PAYE when HMRC inevitably investigates.
