Liability for tax
Permalink Closed

I have a new client who is a self-employed driver.

He gets paid from a company on a weekly basis.

He works in a team; him and his mate. The company pays and invoices to the driver, yet my new client pays half to his mate.

My question is, is my new client solely responsible for the tax, since he is paid (and invoiced) solely by the company?

Interesting this one...

Is new client registered self employed?

Is he working for more than one company? (Employed argument)

Is his mate registered self employed? (Same) or effectively employed by your new client??

New client would be responsible for his own tax and NI - yes...

If his mate is self employed then he would have to invoice him for the relevant amount. so (a) your new client can claim an expense deduction and (b) for his mate to declare the income..

If not is he being treated as an employee of your new client?

Or is it a partnership arrangement...?

It could get messy with employment considerations but I will leave that to the tax experts here to consider..

Interesting points Jeremy.

My new client is registered self employed, yes.

Dont know with regards his mate.

They are both working for one company alone.
