Hi all,


We are in the process of revising our nanny contract to accommodate a family share, however it's so complex working out the tax. We are thinking it would be easier to ask her to become self employed and we pay her a gross salary instead of a net salary (and then pay her tax separately).


Does anyone have a contract that is for a nanny share, in which the nanny is self employed, that they could share with us to use as a template?


We would be so grateful!


Many thanks

Difficult to envisage a situation in which an employment tribunal would find a nanny was self employed unless you genuinely allowed them to send anyone to do the job. Tread carefully with this otherwise you could end up in hot water because of the employment protection the nanny loses by agreeing that status.


The nanny payroll companies can probably help.

Yes indeed though she said she has done this before with a family. But of course we wouldn't want her to lose holidays and sick pay. It's more just because it's easier to pay the tax this way. But yes, will give our many tax company a call.


Thanks

Any of the nanny tax companies will work out a share for you and split the tax etc. We have a 3 day share plus a 2 day sole charge and it took some time working out the numbers but it was all done for us. Plus they provide us with our quarterly tax bill which we pay directly to HMRC and if there are any problems with HMRC (which we had once) the tax company sorts it out which is a bonus. We use NannyPaye but there are several options.
You need to all employ her separately. And the tax code is either split or with the person with most hours. Otherwise it is definitely illegal unless her hours are truly irregular and changeable. Would always agree a gross salary in these circumstances otherwise with a net salary your contribution will go up and down

    • some titles are "protected" ie you have to have certain qualifications and be registered with the supervising council https://www.hcpc-uk.org/about-us/who-we-regulate/the-professions/ Dietician is registered and protected Nutricionist is neither. Anyone can claim to be a nutricionist or chiropracter etc  
    • It didn't occur to me to ask. No idea if dieticians are employed within the NHS. It is just one line of enquiry among others. The GP mentioned it, not me.
    • I thought the most they sell in terms of hot food at londis is like pastries and sausage rolls and for hot drinks its like costa coffee but its always a convenience store. Doesn’t look too bad in my opinion considering that shop has been closed down ever since i moved here
    • Hi Busterb, Yesterday I turned up with a scanner & towels, hoping to take a deceased tabby down to TNV. The body was moved moments before arrival & had not been turned in to any vets, rescues or animal hospitals. I am wondering if this could have been the same cat & if someone just tried to move the tabby further away from the road. Please be warned, viewers discretion is advised. but this is what the deceased tabby looked like: https://www.facebook.com/groups/900015513463302/permalink/3729980853800073/  In any case, if you haven't been able to get someone to scan or take down to a vet, I can scan tomorrow morning.
