Barking Digger is absolutely right. The advert makes it clear that the 'self-employed' staff will be 'assisting' the Avon person and therefore there is no way (irrespective of whether they supply their own tools) that this is a self-employment.....BAJR needs to be a bit more circumspect I think in accepting ads of this nature. There is a clearly defined list of criteria on the HMRC web page that define the self employed...doesn't seem to me to be any ambiguity.....you satisfy them all or you are NOT self-employed. And if you are not self-employed you are employed....its very simple! I too suspect that this is an attempt to evade the full costs of properly employing staff...
With peace and consolation hath dismist, And calm of mind all passion spent...
