Hi all, 

I started a job a few months ago 'employed' by a company on an ad hoc basis. I do not need to invoice they pay me and sort all my travel etc, however, I do my own tax with an accountant.

Will this count as self-employed or employed in the eyes of gaining a mortgage?

Do they deduct National insurance and pay employers National insurance on your payments?

Paying NI through accountant as well.

What answer do you get if you following the on-line status checkers? Note that you can be classed self-employed for tax but classed as employed for employment rights

If the company are not paying employers N I then they are regarding you as self employed.  Whether that is the correct classification for you would be determined if HMRC decide to investigate the company.
