I understand how our tax & nat. ins / tax/self-esystem works. I was, however, wondering if the working conditions of reality TV participants has been established in court, via a legal precedent. I gave the example of France as a country in which this has now happened. They have a similar system to ours, but the legal precedent has been established that reality TV participants' conditions of work should be the same as any employee.
