The more I think about this the more I am convinced that a flat rate for all is unfair (if thats what happens).
Why should the self - employed one-man band with a turnover under say £20K pa pay the same as a big firm who have X amount of employees and much larger turnover. As bigger consumers they may stand to make substantially more saving (on bulk buys, insurances etc that the fee may entitle them to) and still pay the same as me.
What about a tiered fee, based on number of employees OR turnover ?
Only an idea - any comments, thoughts, opinions on this ?
