    I've heard of guys getting a UTR (??) number a bit like a C35 and setting themselves up as sole traders, they then call up companies and offer their services, I think the employer holds back 20% to pay the UK taxman, if they do the taxes right they can claim a good bit of this back for the first year. I don't know anyone doing it though and that's all i know about it.
