2 jobs...please advise.

mboro

Good Evening all,


I am due to start work with a Health care agency starting in February, this will be my 2nd job as I already work part time. 4-6 nights a month.


I have had to get the other care agency job to top my wages up.
I have never had to work two jobs before, one is paid weekly and is classed as self employment, no paid mileage or training...... the other is paid monthly and has a pension scheme, mileage is paid, as is training.


I know I need to inform the Tax office, and for a while I shall be on tax code BR. Both jobs are in private health care, can I claim for any mileage or other expenses?


TIA.X

you should look at HMRC website where there is a section on IR35 and whether you are a disguised employee, and not actually self employed. There is a list of things that would hint and a number of questions which you might ask yourself.


For instance, do you have to have insurance, can you substitute you for someone with similar skills, do you decide how and when to do the work etc.


Assuming it is self employment, any costs relating to that business, you should record, and on your self assessment, list them or total them i.e. Professional Indemnity and Liability Insurance, stationary, work wear, ppe, and mileage at 45p a mile (or 25p a mile once you get to 10K in a year)

Thanks you for the heads up, just had a look around HMRC website and it would seem I am classed as an agency worker.
