From HMR&C website:
Whether someone who works for you should be treated as employed or as self-employed depends on the terms of your working relationship. The fact that the employee would prefer to be treated as self-employed or you would prefer to treat them as such carries almost no weight.
HMR&C are relying more and more on employment law to support their arguments and I think any users of these new 'schemes' should probably have cause for concern on more than one front.
