The company I work for told me to deal with taxes myself, how do I go about it? (I am based in UK)?

Answer 1

Presumably then, you are self employed. Go to the HM Revenue & Customs website which deals with all tax issues. Look for the self employed link.

http://www.hmrc.gov.uk

It tells you how to register and what to do and contact links etc.

Hope this helps.

Answer 2

It sounds like your "employer" is trying to pull a fast one. There are very strict rules as to who is self employed and who isn't. If you are self employed there are several criteria you need to meet to prove the case. If you are an employee, your employer has the legal obligation to collect your tax and pay it to the Inland Revenue (HMRC). The criteria can be found on the HMC website: http://www.hmrc.gov.uk/calcs/esi.htm

Click on ESI application and follow the instructions. Many employers try to do this when they want to avoid running a payroll. These companies are also trying to avoid paying Employers National Insurance Contributions. My tip is to take the test, and if you are still unsure, call the self-employed helpline on 0845 9154655. HMRC doesn't like employers doing this and if at a later stage you are found to be an employee, your "employer" will have to back date any Employer's NI that they owe anyway. It would be best to get it sorted straight away. If it is because they don't want to administer a payroll, point them in my direction http://www.armstrongpayrollsolutions.co.uk and I will do it for them!

Answer 3

You would have to be self-employed if this was the case, if you are then you can either talk to an accountant or you can self-certify through the Inland Revenue.

However, I suspect you are just being cheated by your employer and are in fact for all intents and purposes employed. In which case grass up your employer to the Inland Revenue and they will have to pay your tax, holidays etc.
