Employed Or Self Employed Clarification

[navcomps]

Can you please clairify if I am Employed or Self-employed ?, Since i was considering me as a Employed & Self Employed but from below article i can understand i am a employed only.

I am a director for my limited company which is business classified as IT Consultancy, and I am holding 50% shares.

1. I work for Bank client, where i get sales/Income every week for my Ltd company.
2. I am taking salary every month as a Director.
3. Takes dividends every month (after exlucing Expenses and Corp Tax amount)
4. I am paying PAYE(Income Tax+Emp NI+Emplr NI) every month ,VAT every quarter & corp tax annually to HMRC.

I was in impression that I am taking dividends hence considering myself as self-employed, which i realised now as wrong assumption.

Highly appreciate if experts clarify if i am Employed only or Employed+Self Employed.



Also another query regarding Job title w.r.t to UKBA applicatin form.
1. I need to mention Job Title as "Director" (which is same as mentioned in payslips)
2. I need to mention Job title as "IT Consultant"/"Consulting service"(my contract letter with client says "Consulting service")

Hi Nav,

I think the answer is pretty straight forward mate!

If your Director, you are liable to Class 1 NIC contribution assuming you go over the upper Threshold. This is very similar to any employed person.

If you show as self employed you will then need to show Class 4 Contributions.

Also if you see the latest 12/12 Tier 1 (G) Application form, the self employed/employed question is removed, which makes everybody's life easy.
