Employment status of your subcontractors

We’ve heard that the taxman is increasingly asking about the subcontractors that businesses use.

He is trying to deem these subbies to be employees of the business which would mean increased taxes are due.

We recommend you put a written contract in place between your business and any subcontractors which expressly states the type of relationship that is intended e.g. no certainty of continuing work, allows for substitution of the individual, excludes holiday and sick pay etc.
