A friend of mine is getting a job doing some freelance writing for a firm. He needs to invoice them for his time on an ongoing basis and they have said something about him setting uo a company to do so. He will only be doing work for them.
Does anyone know the legalities of doing this? I would have thought he just charged for his time and at the end of the tax year files a tax return and pays tax. I do not understand why he has to do this through a company? Does he still need to pay NI? Also doe he have to charge VAT for his services?
Are there any tax reasons why he would want to invoice through a company?
Thanks very much.
