Philip Hammond eyes £1bn budget raid on freelancers
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.
