Tax grab could add army of contract workers to company payrolls
The chancellor is considering a £1bn raid on freelance workers in a new blitz against “disguised employment” in the private sector.
The mooted crackdown could force businesses to add tens of thousands of self-employed staff to their payroll, driving up their tax bills.
The move — which could be unveiled by Philip Hammond in next month’s budget — is aimed at levelling the playing field between salaried staff and freelancers, who enjoy significant tax advantages if they work as independent contractors.
Wondering if this is wild speculation as haven't found any other news stories about it???
