How do u go about paying for a labourer? Do u just pay him outta job price and put it down in tax return at the end of the year? or is there easier way of doing it (not Cash in Hand).
if youve got two blokes subbying for a firm.. ones the spread and the others the gopher... surely the way to do it is put em both down as spreads?essexandy said:Don't take my word for it make some enquiries. Some time ago all contractors received booklets from the revenue setting out the rules and made it clear that as the employer it is up to you to make the correct decision as to how your workers are employed as it would be you who would take the rap not those you employ if not done correctly. I prefer not to have to worry so always look carfully at how I employ anyone.
As a general guide if someone works on metreage price, takes a financial risk with their work, has their own public liability insurance, is affected financially by poor weather and also presents an invoice before payment they can qualify as selfemployed. Other than that should almost certainly be on the cards. But this only a simple explanation so don't take this as gospel.
