This discussion ha been interesting, but I would ask one final list of questions.
a) Do the BAJR and IfA guidance documents matter?
b) As it is clear that for dodgy SE - it is the employer that calls the shots. provides the contract, makes the pay rate, etc... then it is they who should be investigated and if found guilty then the Tax Office will deal with them. However, many se archaeologists seem to forget that the money they got at the end of the week/month etc in nice crisp banknotes ... you have to log that and pay tax as well. and if the company is investigated and found with dodgy accounts,... you will be next. I did now of a company I once worked for being investigated - the fall out for the workers is still raw. SHOULD companies be reported for false SE employment?
c) Although it is up to a person how much the charge themselves out at, it has to be remembered that the less they charge, the less others charge, then they will have to charge even less.... etc. Like Employed rates, I strongly believe that there should also be SE minima below which you don't go, as it will harm all of us in the long term.
