A friend has told me that companies will be subject to charges if they employ a subcontractor for too long and be forced to put them on PAYE. I don’t know much about it. Just what I was told. He said it will make it harder for subbies to sub direct to a companyHow can you add a subcontractor to PAYE? Or do you mean when companies employ people "self employed" to try and avoid the liability of an employee?
What would have to happen for you to be deemed as an employee?It used to be down the the contractor to decide if It was an employer/employee relationship. Now it’s down the the employer, if you’re deemed to be an employee you’re taxed differently. HMRC provide the CEST tool to determine if you’re and employee or not. It comes down to things like if you have to do as instructed, if you supply your own tools, if you can send another spark in your place.
One of my clients had a tax inspection and I was questioned as a consultant on working practice's the one that swung the investigation is that I chose my own working hours, just to be clear I was a VAT registered sole trader at the time, so being a limited company does not apply.
Not according to the tax inspectors that Audited my client.
Is that similar to a Grim Reaper?Were you a soul trader?
At that time I was a Sole trader.

There is a 2020 development to note, but it does not apply to Self-Employed (at this point I am only offering general thoughts, not specific advice) The new rules are for those who who work under their own service company and only when they work for medium to large companies.Quick question.
