You could get around PAYE by leaving your job and starting up work as an independent contractor but you loose all employment rights like sick pay, redundancy, holidays and all that. The same would be true of VAT as you could put a lot of your stuff down as a business expense but if you wound up, you would loose everything. Don't know what business rates are like though and you'd need an accountant.
