I cant decide whether to treat this claimant as self employed or employed.
She receives a pay advice each month from Post Office Ltd that detail her Payments which include Assigned Office Payment, Focus-Mails, Focus-Telephony, STD-Financial Service, STD-Maild, STD-Government Services. The total of all these payments are described as Gross Pay.
On the Deduction it details Tax Paid (which works out at 20% of the total Gross Pay) and NI Paid.
So while she is being re-inbursed by the post office for expenses she has had to pay, she is having to pay tax on these and also pays her NI through the Post Office.
I am inclined to treat her as employed and manually calculate the Tax & NI on the Assigned Office Payments but any suggestions would be most welcomed, thanks.
