Update: I spoke with my employer today and he wants me to go self employed but keep on working for him. I mean what’s the point when it’s more responsibility my end. Like I’ll have to see an accountant about tax returns and I’ll get taxed because there’s no way I’m working for 12,500 a year... No idea how to approach this.
Sounds like your "employer" is trying to avoid providing you a pension, sick pay, holiday pay ....
How much is your "employer" offering to pay you per day?
Tread carefully as HMRC are planning to tighten up on this "bogus" self employment...
Seeing an accountant is very important and will help you with understanding all the ramifications of this huge step
