        He should have targeted the high end contract workers set up as a Ltd co & paying much less than they would on PAYE.

        @ChristinaSNP Self employed people don't get the same benefits if they become out of work do they?

        nope, and they don't get the same benefits when they're in work either (sick pay, holiday pay etc etc).

        That's more than an 11% increase, at the same time as corporation tax for big business is being reduced.
