The number of self-employed has risen from 3.3 million
people (12.0% of the labour force) in 2001 to 4.8 million
(15.1% of the labour force) in 2019. It is estimated that
they contribute some GBP2.71bn annually to the economy.
Self-employment takes many forms and is across all sectors
of our economy.
While Labour is naturally concerned about
issues of bogus and forced self-employment, and tax
avoidance, but it is equally concerned about providing
support and encouragement to those who are self-employed.

The Off-payroll regulations which are scheduled to be
applied to the private sector are of great concern.
Labour Business recognises the value and contribution
that freelancers make to our economy.

We want some common-sense proposals which aren't just about squeezing out taxes but are about making self-employment sustainable and prosperous so that it benefits those engaged in the model, the clients that use it and our economy as a whole.
