A question about tax and all things contractor

[mashman]

As did I a couple of years ago. Well, 85%. Big project.

And you're right, there's other considerations, but that 80% is the flag that attracts IRD attention. And believe it or not they can difficult to reason with.

There is no reason. There is only legislation.

If you stand up it will will leak out.

I'm not. The contract I signed specifically stated I am a contractor, and I agreed to it.

I invoice my employer who pays me gross.

I think the leading case in the area is still Bryson v Three Foot Six Limited Basically it depends.

If, however, you were injured or sick then it might be useful to try and skew the relationship one way or another
