HMRC collected £102m in tax as a result of investigations into false self employment in 2015/2016.
Over the past few years, HMRC has focussed a significant number of its investigations on firms where disguised employment is most common.
Disguised employment occurs when an employer classes its workers as self employed in order to avoid paying tax and NI, despite the fact that workers are effectively treated as employees.
If in doubt about an employment status, please contact us now and avoid a big HMRC bill and/or tribunal.
