Yes, I had my own PI, apart from on the last job where I worked as Self Employed but the insurance was paid for by the employer. ?100 a day is cheap, especially when you have to consider the cost of accomodation and running a car. Works out at c ?20,000 pa. But then the average diggers pay on PAYE is about ?5,000 pa less than that isn't it ?
The major advantage of being Self Employed is the amount of your tax bill you can write off as expenses, which leaves more money in your pocket at the end of the day and outweighed the disadvantage of losing money if I wanted a week off or spent a couple days ill.
Of couse both Self Employed rates and PAYE rates need to be standardised.
