Re: Anonymous Contractor
“ Well put. I wonder if all the contractors in this thread can see the irony of telling a permie to stop moaning and get a job while they're all simultaneously crying about about having to pay tax like the rest of us.”
We, contractors, pay more than 3.3% in effective tax” than permies (https://www.contractorcalculator.co.uk/comparing_taxes_contractors_versus_employees.aspx) More when you also include VAT.
There is one benefit that comes out of this: orgs (before they force all new permies to go through umbrella companies in the gig economy) will realise how much dead weight that they have in their permies that were compensated for by contractors.
