It's the (possible) end of the world as we know it.

Anyone else find it annoying when the definitive article gets dropped as in the PCG's press release. It just reads a bit weird.

Just me?

It's a wonder why the freelancer sector doesn't do something about this instead of being the easy targets for the greedy govt and huge bob consultancies.

Oh yeh I forgot, we're a bunch of unreliable mercenaries!

No. Everyone I work with does it.

What an absolutely nightmarish font, or so it appears in my PDF reader, with a weird mixture of a few thick bold letters and the others practically invisible.

One might almost think the Government were trying to discourage anyone from actually soldiering through the document and taking it all in!

Read the first two lines were it talks about self employed, doesn't apply to me I am an employee of my Ltd Co.

Trotting out the same line in every thread on the topic makes it no more or less valid, but does get rather boring when it's only a tired, trite comment to begin with.

Your definition of self-employment isn't what HMRC use in their decision-making process. Theirs is.


ps: you ARE self-employed. Deal with it.

Ahem...

A self-employed person in the United Kingdom can operate as a sole trader or as a partner in a partnership (including a Limited Liability Partnership or "LLP") but not through an incorporated limited (or unlimited) liability company.

No, I am not self-employed. Deal with it.

There is some confusion about self-employment. IIRC some banks treat us as self-employed for mortgage purposes. But that has no legal status, it's just their business practice. Is that right?
