About PAYE;
What happens if you are employing someone at the limits and then they go out and get a bar job too? Would I then be liable for the relevant amount of contributions? Am i responsible for knowing that my employee hasn't gone and got another job without telling me??
Assuming i would be responsible for PAYE if they got more work, then am I allowed to make not having other employment part of their contract?
If i am not making PAYE contributions, does the employee have any NI contributions? (eg. paid by the state?), or are they elligable for any tax credits/benefits? (IIRC JSA could be claimed if working < 16h /wk -- although IIRC earnings would count against JSA money, NI would at least be paid, right?)
Finally, How do all these things change if you are employing someone from the EU, or outside??
- tehwalrus 15y agofirst, ask an accountant. about everything there. second, some friendly advice: my approach would be to register them for PAYE even if they're only close to the threshold; this means they are future proofed if they step up hours / get a bar job. I know economists will tell you effort up front is worth more than cheaper effort in the future, but that's only one opinion! finally, I believe that EU citizens are treated exactly the same once issued an NI number - but see my first comment about all matters of tax law!
- polshaw 15y agoIt's not just effort, avoiding PAYE is saving money.. bootstrapping and all that.. similarly for the accountant, although i am due a meeting. Still, if anyone knows, please go ahead and share.
