I really do not see why the chancellor wishes to punish a legitimate group of hard working individuals.
    Not as significant or advantageous as they used to be...

    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.
