I’m self employed because it’s the nature of my industry. I still pay taxes and national insurance like everyone else. The only way I can do what I do on PAYE is if I get a long term job. If I got one then great but it’s unlikely.
The tax I pay is the same as if someone earned the same as me PAYE. I might pay a little less national Insurance but it depends on how much I make. The only difference is the places I work at don’t pay tax on my pay and I can claim expenses against what I earn. That’s it.
