Employed or self-employed - that is the question
HMRC have recently issued a factsheet to help you decide whether you are employed or self-employed for tax and National Insurance purposes. The leaflet covers issues such as:
- Is your employment status right?
- The special rules that apply to certain occupations and jobs
- Working through a Company or partnership
- Checking your employment status
- Employment Status Indicator (ESI) tool
- Your position if you have more than one job
- Why employment status is important
- Your entitlement to benefits and employment rights
It gives links to other relevant information and provides helpline numbers.
The sheet can be found at http://www.hmrc.gov.uk/leaflets/es-fs1.pdf.
