Flexibility and better take-home pay
It pays to be Ship Shape
Self-employed
We make it easy to work self-employed, maximise your pay, enjoy more flexibility AND comply with HMRC rules.
Ship Shape self-employed workers enjoy lower National Insurance contributions and can offset expenses such as food, travel and clothing.
Depending on your tax status Ship Shape will make gross payments to you with no tax deductions, or payments net of tax as required under CIS for construction workers.
As the experts, we can advise if you can contract in this way – ask your agency to get in touch with us!
