I signed a contract to say I'be self employed, I even saved all my tax and paid all my NI. However, when I went to an accountant he poiinted out that it looked strangely that I was employed, or should be employed for tax purposes. I took an ESI test, and that said I'm employed. I have since written to the Inland Revenue requesting they tell me whether I am employed or self employed. HOWEVER. my accountant reckons I might be unlucky and get fined as he already submitted my tax self assessment tax return. HE is the one who did the cosmetics to gloss over the fact that I didnt have an self employed expenses, and my book keeper has my original accounts to prove it, so why should I be fined? Also, at the time I thought I was self employed and took action accordingly, ie saving tax. Accordingly, when there was doubt, I sought advice from the IR. Does anyone know what is the likely outcome here given I am blatantly employed legally speaking.
