    Of course it does, what paddy is trying to say (if I'm reading him correctly) is, you being the boss could chase the freelancer who caused the damage for the money. Where this falls down is, the freelancer was working under your instruction, makes it all bets off I'm afraid.

    It could take a while then.

    If that was Boris, the water would come out of his other ear.

    You are mixing two different scenarios up, if that electrician was a freelancer the buck stops with the electrical company that employed him, not the person who actually did the job, fact. If he was a sub contractor it would be on him, if he's a freelancer not, fact.

    I've had a read up on this today, for those of us who are genuine freelancers nothing whatsoever will change. When I say genuine I mean those of us who do a day or three here, a week or two there, a week on your own work.

    Yes, what I did say earlier was, most here work freelance for a few different company's, again earlier I said that calculator assumes you are working for the same company, like an employee! i.e. They really are employees/employers avoiding tax. Genuine freelancers move about between company's and mix in some of their own work.

    The government website seems to think there is still freelancers. Contract types and employer responsibilities: Freelancers, consultants and contractors - GOV.UK WWW.GOV.UK Employers' responsibilities for different contract types: full-time, part-time, fixed term, agency workers, consultants...

    It seem Sunak didn't think it through though, he forgot there a tens of thousands, possibly more Consultants out there that work from home as freelancers. Big companies have dropped these consultants and many other freelance seat polishers and moved the work overseas and pay zero UK tax now.

    There was a march in London earlier in the year to oppose Rishi Sunak's plan, it failed. It will come into play next April. HMRC aren't interested in the genuinely self employed, they are after folk, both workers and employers who are pulling a fast one to avoid paying tax.

    It won't affect you, Mark. Use that calculator that paddy posted earlier. I'd bet you come out as self employed, if so no change.

    You've got 25 250watt panels?, that's 6,250watts. You could power Blackpool illuminations with that lot🙂
  19. eggsarascal
    I think you are right, Mate.
  20. eggsarascal
    Yes, self employed freelancer. If I work in Mrs Miggins garden (my own job) I need insurance. If I'm in the same garden working with your men I'm a freelancer working under your instruction covered under your insurance.
  21. eggsarascal
    The calculator also assumes you are working for just one main contractor, most here work for several different contractors. Makes a big difference. But we are talking about insurance, not tax.

    Following your advice:
  23. eggsarascal
    Scroll down to section 9. Important facts for contractors - off-payroll working rules (IR35) - GOV.UK WWW.GOV.UK

    Labour only vs. bona fide subcontractor | Direct Line for Business WWW.DIRECTLINEFORBUSINESS.CO.UK Unsure whether you have to declare your subcontractor as an employee or if you need employers’ liability insurance... Perhaps the insurance company got it wrong?
  25. eggsarascal
    Without signing that contract which stated they needed their own insurance they would have been covered by the main contractors insurance, as freelancers. The bloke with the drill knew, or should have known he'd signed that right away. Again, ring an employment solicitor and ask. It will probably be free advice.
