    Contract of Employment

    • To distinguish a contract of service from a contract for service, consider:
      • Did the employer control the work and performance?
      • Is the work an integral part of the employer's business?
      • Is the individual in business independently?
      • Does the individual provide their own tools and equipment?
      • Who is responsible for the worker's taxes and national insurance?
      • Is there mutuality of obligation (employer obligated to provide work, and worker free to refuse)?
    • Independent contractors are not responsible for paying taxes.
