Are you already receiving Care from a Self-employed Live-In Carer?
HMRC state that home carers are not allowed to be self-employed, HMRC class carers who work in client’s home as employees. Some care agencies using self-employed carers can leave you or your loved one in a difficult position, possibly owing HMRC fines and additional costs.
Being self-employed is not a choice, you cannot just announce you are self employed and expect HMRC to agree. HMRC state that this is a form of tax avoidance.
