Pharmacists do it

They can locum for companies and are self employed, filling vacanies on a day/week basis.

They are effectively their own business for hire

In engneering the "contractor" pays the customer (employer) bench rent. Ie you are actually hiring your work space, in return the owner of "the space" will provide you with sub contracted jobs. Hope that helps, or at least makes sense.

Its a difficult thing to do long term. Things that can help your case are things like having more than 1 "job" or not having the same rights as employees, having your own equipment/computer etc. If the company is willing to do it then they are taking a risk of not deducting PAYE and NI but if they are happy to do it then the majority of the risk lies with them.

Why don't you pay what you should?

Why don't you pay what you should?

The problem is, that figure isn't necessarily what the CSA says it is. They are notorious for this sort of thing.

Why should the tax payers subsidise your lifestyles? Do you have 2 families?

 

[Coleby1007]

Even if you were self employed what you declare doesnt take into account your mortgage payments and personal outgoings. So I dont really understand what your asking? Regardless HMRC have been clamping down on this sort of thing over the past 18 months. Have a read up of IR35 and disguised employment laws

Ever the voice of reason

Window fitters do it, have a friend who is self employed and has has a contract that he only installs windows for them and they pay for his van that carries the the companies livery.
Has done this for the last 15 years.
Is in effect employed but only pays self employed tax and NI.

The problem is the CSA only investigate the father's earnings.

My dad's ex said she only earned £50 a week so he gets creamed for my two half brothers.

It's a joke as she works part-time on the books of a company on a saturday and the rest of the time is self-employed not disclosing. If they even did a little investigating they see on her facebook that she's been on holiday to the Caribbean every year. But yet they take so much money from my dad I have to help him out to pay his bills (and he earns a decent wage).

Wouldn't be so bad but he has one and she has the other, so in my mind should be equal. But as she isn't "earning", she pays nothing and he pays everything.

rant over

No, the rule is you pay what the CSA say. That is the amount you should pay.

i think you should be straight up & pay what the CSA say, if you dont agree with the figure have a meeting with them rather than think of ways not to pay. I think its quite telling quoting "so obviously I don't want to pay what the CSA want"
But without knowing what you earn/what you pay/paid its difficult to say

I know, but sometimes that figure is grossly unfair.

 

[daveyboy40]

I have paid for my children week in week out since I split from my ex..!i have been paying what I feel is a reasonable amount to keep my daughter in a good lifestyle..now the CSA are involved they want what I pay and a bit more and I can not physically afford this..!but will the CSA listen no

That is bollox. We all know how the CSA and Women, in general, can screw over the ex-husband. How come nothing changes when the ex-wife gets re-married and suddenly has income, nothing..

BTW, before you ask, I am happily married for the first time of askinbg and for 19 years.. When I say happy, she now wants the laptop and or the remote as I am watching Palarse and on NSC!

Is this calculator correct?

Child maintenance calculator - Child Support Agency

 

[TKC]

Costs lots of money to bring a child up. As far as I was aware you cant be self employed and be paid by only one employer.
