As a matter of interest, how far (if anywhere) does your average agency, or payroll company go in booking these expenses and reducing your effective salary for deductions purposes ?

I can imagine they would try and avoid doing such additional admin, especially if they were the-agent-that-got-you-the-job and have you over a barrel, or the payroll-company-that-the-agency-tries-to-force-you-to-deal-with.

[quote=Richard;87064]Employee: Briefly said as an employee and even as an employee of your own company you are dependent on the structures set up within the company. This is what hurts most freelancers when they believe they have a "bad" agent. If the structure within the payroll company is not to your liking you cannot change much to meet your needs. Furthermore, any potential tax efficiency needs to be achieved by having the right structure in the company, something the payroll companies and hence agents have little interest in, and by ensuring that your location is tax efficient.
