The UK made it very easy this year. They created a concept of "deemed employee". Basically a worker is an employee for all intents and purposes except that they don't have any worker's rights. It's currently being adopted mainly in the IT sector that requires flexible work force. The main problem is that the worker needs an intermediary to be hired through - currently it must be a worker's own company and then a fee payer that collects tax on the worker's behalf. This all can be automated though and probably it will take a year to be implemented and streamlined. Currently this system is being exploited by the so called mini umbrellas - instead of worker having its own company, they are hired by someone else's company set up specifically for the engagement, except that they likely pay wrong tax and pocket the worker's money through various fees. It's crazy, but it looks like this is some sort of an incentive for big companies to come here after Brexit. https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-57021128 https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-57021128 (these mini umbrellas are nothing new, but this year they got more power, so it will only get worse and MPs decided to ignore all proposals to fix this)
