The new Inland revenue one size fits all employment/self employment test, has been imposed upon corporate, and small businesses.
This effectively makes you employed rather than self employed, even if you own your own media company, or any other small business if you work regularly for a large company.
The idea is for the Revenue to claim tax by PAYE then get you to claim it back if you can prove you are self employed. The collectors are going back six years to claw back tax that has been avoided.
This will almost certainly lead to the lesser paid specialist music programmes Folk/Blues/Soul/Country, becoming financially inviable for the presenters, such as myself and many others. The 'you know what' is about to hit the fan big time. I have already walked from BBC Radio Lancashire, after 33 years. It's OK for me I am of pensionable age. I feel sorry for the youngsters coming through. Let's face it it's a waste of time sending a CD through to Folk on Two, it never gets played, or even taken out of its cover unless you fit some hidden criteria. What future there is for recordings of home made music I don't know.
I hope somebody with a bit more knowledge might explain all of this a little better than I have with this post, and there is a way forward some how. I can't see it at the moment.
