Where a person is taken on a self-employed or consulting basis to perform a role, there is tax flexibility for the worker and lower administrative burdens for the employer. Accordingly, the Inland Revenue may scrutinise such arrangements to see if they are genuine or whether they are schemes to avoid deductions of Schedule E income tax under PAYE, and National Insurance Contributions (NIC's).

An individual working under a contract for services. Consultants will not be entitled to the statutory rights available only to employees working under a contract of service.
