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

    • I had my car ransacked on Wednesday night, I assumed I’d left it unlocked. It was unlocked again this morning though and I definitely locked it last night.   The car was outside my front door and the keys near the door inside so I assume this is a relay theft  issue with someone using a remote key reader. I would advise keeping keys away from the front door. I have reported to police. 
    • They plan to close the Mount Pleasant Office, absolute and utter madnesss
    • We are sadly saddled with the three stooges till July 2029 because they have such a far reaching majority, that is the problem when you give a party that level of support.  The ship was being turned around by the last Administration and given all their faults, errors, misdemeanours its not surprising that that got and probably deservedly so out of Office.  But if what has just happened over the past 100+ days since the new Administration took power, we are in for a very bumpy ride and peoples lives will ALL be affected. They say they champion the poor, well all they've done so far by taking away the winter fuel allowance (not eligible for it) and increasing employers national insurance, as sure as eggs is eggs, prices will increase and that hits everyone in the pocket, including the poorest in society. You can only shake the money tree so often, after which time it's Empty. What that means is the cost of providing benefits increases, where does the money then come from.  To then take on the farmers who feed part of the economy is utter madness, because if they blockade food supplies then people will go hungry, not necessarily starve. You don't shoot the hand that feeds you.  Their is enough written about the three stooges, Starmer, Reeves and Rayner, I have no idea if they are supposed "communists", but what I have seen is that free speech is being eroded, that can never be good for a democracy, where people are scared to speak out.  How does all this change, the people will eventually have had enough and rise up against the Govt. It has to happen eventually. Even is Starmer went you are left with Reeves and Rayner. Personally O don't trust either, it will be more of "do as I say, not as I do".  
    • Thanks for the invite, although most people will be at work or at school. It's a Monday morning...
