  1. Saint Gary such a hypocrite. Wants allthe justice and help for migrants but doesnt want to pay his tax to help those coming in thiscountry. And to say hes a freelancer is crap been working at bbc for 20 years so if thats not permanent employment what is?

  2. Fun fact: if you’re in a partnership you pay income tax as you would on a salary, but National Insurance is charged differently: Class 2 contributions are £3.15 per week compared to 13.8% Employers NI that would be paid by a company.

    Another fun fact: if you set up a partnership you don’t need to split things 50/50. You could, for example, have one partner that gets paid £30,000 and the other partner gets paid all the rest.

    And the subject of this appeal: a contract with a partnership is technically a contract directly with each of the partners, so IR35 legislation doesn’t apply.
