Sub contract rates in North East England vary considerably around £12 to £25. I've subbed for £25 and was turned downed for work when I asked £15 per hour.

It's interesting that Norway is considered a high tax country. My brother works there and we both worked out how much we pay in income tax - he pays less. Interest on loans and travel to work costs are not liable to income tax in Norway.
