Thank you all so much for your comments. It means alot. I just went up to the bank to get the receipt book and list of previous payments he told me to get as he barked down the phone to me yesterday. The bank told me theres no such thing as a receipt book, so the fool made me look stupid once again.. came home, told the old dot. she was well pissed off. She rang him up straight away, regardless of me telling her not to.. and she left a message, threatening to take police action, blah blah.. Its not what I wanted it to come to at all, but hopefully the threat will scare him off a bit, If not I have a solicitor ready to take legal action with the scum bag. Thanks again, really good advice from you all! Especially liked the claw hammer one lol! made me chuckle. all the best to you all. Matt

No worries mate. You have found a great source of info here so keep using it. Don't let one idiot spoil it for you in your chosen job.

If he gives him a receipt this may be concived as an invoice, this would then give the argument by the employer that the employee was self employed therefore the employee is liable to make the payments and contributions.

 

I agree if the employer has no evidence from employee that he is paying his own NI and tax its the employers responsibility to pay it.

 

 

I would have to double check but I am 99.9% sure that the tax man wouldnt care that the subbie paid the tax they would still want it of the 'employer' if they found out the subby was solely working for them.

 

Its to also try and stop everyone being self employed so the employers dont need to give them any employee rights etc.

Tell the man that your cousin in the Inland Revenue says she should be able to pull all the neccessary information from his accounts package and that she can help work out his tax liability if he is having trouble.

 

I'll be surprised if you hear from him again.

Matt, sorry I didn't get to reply before you went to the bank. The stamped counterfoils in your paying in book or the counterfoils from paying in slips are yours & you have no reason to show them to anyone else. They are simply your receipt (not his) for monies you have paid in to your account.

If he paid you by cheque then the 'paid' or 'cleared' cheques, available to him from his bank will be quite sufficient for his books.

If he paid you cash then he is required to make a note in his books that he has made a cash payment. This will be acceptable to the Revenue.The ball is in his court & he should not be causing you this aggravation.

He is a bully & most bullies are cowards. Let 'the old dot' do the talking, tell her to repeat what I say above if he presses, If she shows that you wont back down then I feel that he will go away. Good luck to you.

not strictly true. the tax man would want receipts with payee addresses on
