I have a few questions about going self employed specifically joining an LLP.

First of I have no clue so if you need an answer to a question please ask.

I’m a HGV driver and the company wants us to move over to LLP which in its self is a mine field.

I am on a salary of 33k plus bonus and take home about 40k before taxes.

Going self employed can I claim the following.

Return to my place of work 1 way there park car for 3 nights 1 way back, about 40 miles each way.

We have been told that we will remain on the same salary but the saving on NI contributions will go back into the company, is this legal. (We will get the same money if we go LLP or remain PAYE) is this legal.

All our taxes will be managed by a 3rd party. But is there a charge for me to be self employed?

I have lots of questions but I see no benefit to me to do this. Am I missing something.
 
So a few points to make. I’m salary so will get holiday pay as my monthly wage won’t change.

Has anyone got a link to anything where LLP is being looked into by the government.

I too see no benefit but would rather be informed when declining the offer. The company at present is doing well.

I’ve also heard that to be self employed there is a £600 a year charge from the government duels to the amount I would earn?

Thanks for the reply’s.
 
So far the only benefit is the possibility of a bonus. Which I have asked directly and indirectly to how much to not get what I believe is a reasonable answer.
