As I have reported before, it is 'almost' impossible for a digger to be self employed.
Self-employed
If you can answer 'Yes' to all of the following questions, it will usually mean
you are self-employed.
Can you hire someone to do the work for you or engage helpers at
your own expense?
Do you risk your own money?
Do you provide the main items of equipment you need to do your job,
not just the small tools many employees provide for themselves?
Do you agree to do a job for a fixed price regardless of how long the
job may take?
Can you decide what work to do, how and when to do the 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?
Now I don't know about you... but a digger would be hard pressed to answer yes to even half of these.
So show me a self employed digger and I am sorry to say, you are most likely looking at someone who is putting both themselves, the company and others in danger of investigation by the Inland Revenue.
