Employees don't pay Employer's NI the clue is in the name.

Be kind. Nearly all the letters are the same.

If you ignore Employer's NI in your calculation as they've done.

I didn't see anything she said translating as "I want to have another kid to boost our income". In fact she said she wanted another kid even if the government cut her benefits further.

Still a crackers situation obviously.

Contractors inside IR35 pay 14% more tax than permanent employees

No of baby farms = not very many.
No of contractors = a couple of orders of magnitude more.

If it was just a numbers game its obvious which to fix first.

Number of long-term jobless hits 20-year high

have you heard the expression two wrongs don't make a right?

both need fixing, however a contractor avoiding £5-10k of NI but paying probably £20-30k tax against a baby farm receiving £30K which do you fix first?

the numbers are about the same.

What if one of her kids stops world hunger, or cures cancer, £30k would seem cheap

They are more likely to turn to a life of petty crime.

Also it is not the same as being a contractor at all. She is using those kids as a means of income.

It's possible, but since her two eldest daughters are already in the baby production business it's fairly improbable.

On balance it's more likely that most if not all of her offspring will follow along a similar behaviour path.

Whats the difference with her using the system legitimately then us doing the same every time we take a dividend rather than paying full PAYE and NI on our earnings.

Hate the game not the player

Wait for the "what do you mean, I'm a business?" responses from the usual suspects.

She'd be a hero in Russia

Good point. Let's all chip in to send her there.
