https://www.vetnurse.co.uk/f/nonclinical-discussions/29564/help-locum-questions Hi I stopped nursing 9 months ago to go back to Uni full time. I have just finished my first year and I saw that a practice round the corner from me was looking for a Locum nurse over the summer. Perfect I thought, so I started at the beginning ofen-USTelligent Community 10https://www.vetnurse.co.uk/thread/165066?ContentTypeID=1Sun, 22 May 2016 18:27:30 GMT1a0763ec-3885-442c-853e-6cef656dfec5:6e744ff0-0f97-46db-a178-799fdc73d7b3Rebecca Lindsay<p>My sister is an accountant so she is sorting the self employed thing.

I locum under my own Ltd company, because the inland revenue did a purge last year on dental and vet nurses who were self employed and there were seveal instances of none payment of tax, which then if self employed refers back to the practice who hired you to foot the bill. So to protect the practice a lot of them will only take you under an umbrella company (which be careful they will fleece you) or if you work under an Ltd. An Ltd cost &pound;150 a year to set up. Hope this helps</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
