Employed or Self-employed? – New guidance on employment status for tax and NICs purposes

Monday, November 3rd, 2008

In June 2008, HMRC published a new factsheet on employment status for the benefit of workers.  This has now been complemented by a fact sheet for employers.  The new factsheet replaces the old IR56 booklet but is much shorter, on the assumption that employers will initially have used the online Employment Status Indicator (ESI) tool to check the employment status of a particular worker.
