Two things wrong with that article:
1. It leaves the impression that all contractors incorporate purely to avoid tax and NICs. Which is incorrect.
2. The following has been written in a way that suggests that contractors pay no NICs at all:Personal service companies.
Unaffected by the Budget. Taxed at company rate and exempt from national insurance. Workers must prove that they are self-employed.Comment

The article states:
Personal service companies.
Unaffected by the Budget. Taxed at company rate and exempt from national insurance. Workers must prove that they are self-employed.

As the company rate will rise to 22%, 'Unaffected by Budget' is absolute nonsense. Also employees with low salaries pay more tax due to the abolition of the 10% band, which I believe was again aimed at Personal Service Companies, although the side-effects are to hit about 3m low-earners who can ill-afford to pay this extra 'stealth' tax, masquerading as a tax cut.Comment
