@Bread , “no special treatment”
Yeah, thats exactly what l was, however if there was profit at the end of
the year, then l could claim that as a dividend which would be taxed at a lower
rate than paye by a substantial amount?
Obviously my weekly earnings were kept low to take advantage of this !!
The company took care of all those other things you mentioned such as
VAT etc etc !!
Donkeyman! 
You can’t do that (dividends, VAT, expenses) under IR35 because the entire job is payrolled.
You pay tax as if you were an employee on the entire amount.
@Bread , Ah, l see this was only brought in in year 2000 Bread ?
I operated in South Africa untill 2017 and it hadnt been introduced when
l left ??
Sorry for taking up your time !!
Donkeyman!
No problem DM.
It was brought in for Doctors mainly in 2000 and then rolled out to other companies about 2 or 3 years ago. If we got rid of IR35 we would see a big uptick in Doctors as they would be incentivised to work here much more than currently.
