Re: Paul Hawksbee and the taxman
I suspect that Talksport itself actually has very few employees, I'd assume that most of the "talent" is freelance in some way or other

The most alarming thing is, according to his own account, Hawksbee actually WANTS Luke Moore as a regular guest.

One of them being the poor minimum-wage lackey that has to bring Alan Brazil's bacon sandwiches into the studio,
and ALL my heartfelt sympathy goes out to the poor wretch that has to clean the toilets at Talksport after the abuse dealt out
by the likes of Brazil,Parry and Quinn.

Interesting to know what GOA's arrangements are.
'But now Judge Thomas Scott has backed Hawksbee, saying his artistic freedom to pick his own guests and tell his own jokes makes him self-employed.'
What a crock of absolute shite. He's making it sound like there's a team of writers who do jokes for the rest of the presenters and he's opted out. Apart from that unfunny cunt who does a Spurs podcast and crap impressions, all the guests are foisted on them and in any case GOA is the one who does all the prep for the show with PH riffing on the back of them
I agree good old bad old Paul is a tax dodging shyster, Holden. But if he's set it up as with hia own company and:Then he is a self-employed. Winging it though and hopefully HMRC will appeal more.Unlike most employees, Hawksbee gets no holiday or sick pay, pension or paternity leave. He receives a fee for each show, with talkSPORT paying him no retainer or bonus, the tribunal heard.
Who is the bloke Doug used to post as a Hawksbee lookalike? Can never remember, edit, found it, Cardew Robinson:
He works the hours tS tell him. He works on their premises and he uses their equipment. He doesn’t have a named replacement he provides when he’s off,he works on OB’s where they tell him and he’s admitted that 90% of his income is from tS.
He’s a very lucky boy

He should have played 'Don't Ask Me' and then walked away.

I'm with Hawksee on this.

HMRC failed to make a convincing case.
Tough shit for them. Hope they had to pay Paul's costs.

It appears that the tax laws are so over-complicated that not even the taxman understands them. Bring back Nigel Lawson!

Re: Paul Hawksbee and the taxman
He writes his own jokes? The only people who find Paul's jokes funny are GOA (sometimes), some 80 year old sound-engineer who worked on 'On The Buses' and Tommy Trinder's great grandson. He should be taken to the high court to prove that his jokes are 'funny'. I find them bang-average, unsophisticated purile shite for thick people who drive white vans and were born between 1949 and 1968.

Clearly knows what he's doing making himself "self employed" no holiday pay etc. He has clearly had some sound advice off someone!

Re: Paul Hawksbee and the taxman
It's standard stuff .. Talksport are happy with that arrangement as they have no duty towards self employed folks. They could ring him up this morning and tell him not to come in they've replaced him (with someone cheaper most likely) end of scenario. HMRC ought to go after Talksport if they have a problem with that but they don't of course in corporate society .. they go after the individual who might just cough up. I'm pleased for him.

The lack of ‘benefits’ for being self employed is a consideration. He’s paying his fair share, so nothing to see here. He is however, now on the radar
