But at ?100 a day or less, surely you just aren't making enough money to compensate for the loss of PAYE, as BAJR says above. Do you have your own PI insurance, Mike T? Plus there is the point that a lot of self employment appears to be sham self employment, as defined by HMRC. I'm not knocking the principle of SE, I just think that at some rates and conditions, it has more advantages for the employer than for the employed. Its certianly the choice of the individual though.
