There are lots of people not on the unemployment figures because they are either students, getting pensions/pension credit, carers of family or part of a couple but actually want to work.
None of the people I know who fall in those categories (apart from the one in the couple who has been down to the job centre) have ever been asked if they want to work.
Anyway this has gone off the topic of contractors paying the same tax as employees.

There are ALWAYS jobs available. One of the biggest issues we face right now in the UK is that too many folk are too disincentivised by the social security system from taking those jobs because they'd be worse off or no better off by working. This situation has actually been made much worse by labour since they wanted millions of voters to be trapped into voting labour in case the scary, nasty tories took away their benefits.

What if the same applies to enrepreneurial activity as applies to employment: there just is not and cannot be enough of it to go round?

Originally posted by LisaContractorUmbrella View PostThe welfare state was originally introduced to aid people who were unable to help themselves and I doubt that anyone would disagree that was a good thing. I am quite happy for everyone to pay 20% tax to ensure the that the welfare state continues to help people who are unable to help themselves. I am also certain that 20% tax across the board would be more than sufficient to fund it. The additional 'fair' taxes from the 'fat cats' are more likely to be used to fund those who will not work rather than those who cannot.
