Employed or Self Employed? Putting it to the test
3 March 2010
Problems often arise in regard to whether you, or the people who work for you, are employed or self employed and getting it wrong can have serious consequences. A person’s status can be different depending on whether it is considered from an employment law or tax point of view.
To help you to make sure that you understand this often misunderstood subject, Hart Shaw Chartered Accountants and Business Advisers and Watson Esam Solicitors joined forces to present this informative briefing. Watson Esam’s senior partner Jay Bhayani and Hart Shaw’s tax partner Steve Vickers offered guidance on:
- The difference between self employed and employed from the legal and taxation points of view
- The tests applied by employment tribunals and by the Inland Revenue to determine status
- What sort of contract documentation is required in each case
- The penalties and pitfalls of getting it wrong
- Case law
