Funny enough I went through building control so as not to have anything to do with the company, and the cert I have her she said was Mickey Mouse, hence the call to my office

You say my company but you mean my customer and if you think I am being trivial well thats how HMRC look at it also here is the following from their site.

[h=2]Check that you are self-employed[/h]The tax and National Insurance contributions you pay depend on whether you're self-employed or an employee - so it's important to check that you really are self-employed. You're usually self-employed if you can answer 'yes' to the following:

• Do you have the final say in how the business is run?
• Are you responsible for meeting any losses as well as taking any profits?
• Can you hire someone on your own terms to do work for you?
• Do you risk your own money?
• Do you provide the main items of equipment you need to do your job?
• Do you agree to do a job for a fixed price regardless of how long it may take?
• Can you decide what work to do, how and when to work and where to provide the services?
• Do you regularly work for a number of different people?
• Do you have to correct unsatisfactory work in your own time and at your own expense?

You can be self-employed for some of your work, but an employee of another business as well.
You normally have to pay tax and National Insurance contributions as if you're an employee if

• you work through an agency
• you're a company director
• you're the secretary of a club or the holder of any other office

If you're still unsure whether you count as self-employed, follow the link below for more guidance. Or you can contact your Tax Office or the HMRC Helpline for the Newly Self-Employed.

So do you want to be an employee or a Ltd Co if it's a Ltd Co you could always go out and get your own contracts and ditch the subbing to that outfit lol

Can see your point. But I can sort of see there point as it was there job that you was approached on not yours should of passed it on to them in my opinion

To makes matters worse his company is treating him like an employee and if they get involved in this then HMRC have them bang to rights

Oh my god, do you work for hmrc as you seem to be fixated on this, yes I have a ltd co, I am a director ad so employed by said company I pay no ad tax as required, I'm not stupid about this stuff as I said my wife is an accountant and a very good one too. I am not self employed as you seem to think

 

[KAS1]

You did ask for opinions, seems to me as though you got caught taking work off the company you were sub contracting to, so stop the moaning and put it down to hard luck. Poaching work is as bad as poaching labour in my book.

No I am not fixated just trying to highlight a few details as I know someone who was audited and was given a stonker of a tax bill to pay after 15 years of "sub contracting" and yes he had an accountant but his excuse was he had no idea he just worked on the figures he was given as I said I dont get off on this just seen and heard about it too many times . You need to get other work under you belt

[Guest55]

But still wasn't their job to haul him in, i remember a company i worked for who asked the spark's any work they get asked to do they would get 10 per cent if they went through the company. I can remember nothing went through!

 

[sedgy34]

So what was the complaint about

 

[sedgy34]

A neighbour has asked for a job to be done, u both arranged a Saturday so what business is it to the company you sub too.

 

[oldtimer]

Still waiting for an answer to this and more then again more like half a story

I know what your saying but if you take a chance you have to take the consequences. What else could they do most would of sacked him on the spot

Don't understand this point of view, sacked for what? His own parts, own time etc not the company's property

 

[oldtimer]

Well not seen this before the OP has left the building now its pure speculation

Maybe you should read all posts before commenting on half a story, she accused me of giving her a Mickey Mouse cert as I went through building control an issued a cert from regs book and she has been brainwashed to accept nothing but niceic

 

[darkstar26]

i really can't see what you've done wrong tbh

 

[R G]

I worked for SEC as a subbie and they treated you the same , when they gave me mag signs to put on my van I gave them back and told them I own the van and not them , they all seem to think they own you these days , I would rather do my own work than be treated like this
