self employed but paying someone cash to help you?
Permalink Closed

Just looking to see if you are able to claim this as an expense if i am self employed and i give someone £50 to help me one day but get them to sign a sheet of paper that says this money has not been taxed therefore you are liable to pay the tax due on it yourself am i able to claim this then as an expense against my business?

Good idea to ask for the 10 digit SA tax reference to cover yourself. Put it on the signed sheet of paper.

Always ask for name and address as a bare minimum for contractors that you use. You should also try to get utr as mentioned above.
