    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🙂

    I think you are right, Mate.

    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.

    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:
  10. 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?

    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.
  13. eggsarascal
    I'm afraid you are also wrong. Before you come back check with a legal brief wether or not a freelancer needs insurance. I'm not interested which industry ring a brief and ask.
  14. eggsarascal
    I've been a freelancer for ten years, there is no need for insurance. I also do some subby work which I do need insurance for. I know the detail.
  15. eggsarascal
    You are still wrong.
  16. eggsarascal
    How often does that happen?, I work in many places/environments where having a phone is a total no no. We seem to get by ok.
  17. eggsarascal
    Rich's advice is sound as usual, he did miss a bit mind. LEAVE THAT POXY PHONE IN THE VAN until brew, lunchtime.
  18. eggsarascal
    Crack on lass.

    If Chris Rea promised to drive home without singing that rubbish song I'd get my mate Slippery Jim to stick a MOT on his motor.

    Bent councillors, whatever next.

    I don't mind gutting my own fowl but I draw a line at gutting my own foul.

    Lockdown15 for a discount code just isn't on!

    Good job either way, like the frame, like the top.
