Employment status - getting it right

This half-day course concentrates on the crucial area of employment status.

This half-day course concentrates on the crucial area of employment status. This is key both for the correct operation of the CIS scheme and for ensuring PAYE is properly operated. Determining the correct employment status has never been more important. HMRC are adopting a harder line on recategorisation leading to significantly increased tax and NIC costs for employers. At the heart of the Construction Industry Scheme is the monthly CIS return which has to confirm the employment status of each person/subcontractor recorded on that form. Even though the individual may have worked for the organisation before, their status can vary with each job and making a mistake affects the tax deduction that must be made.

The speaker will be drawn from a pool of qualified professionals who specialise in this subject. Having worked for leading organisations they will relate the course content to real life case studies.

• positive indicators of employment - control, obligation, pay and benefits
• positive indicators of self-employment - business structure, risk and equipment
• how the factors are weighted
• why each individual case has to be assessed separately
• the harsh penalties for getting it wrong
• planning to achieve the best treatment for every engagement
• recent developments.

The course will be illustrated with interactive case studies.

The course starts at 2.00pm and ends at 5.15pm. Refreshments are provided.
