Courier Job Income Tax

Not sure if posted in the correct board, feel free to move.
I am interested in a courier job at amazon through one motion logistics. They state that you earn £100/day and can work as many days as you want. They also offer to lease you a van at a cost of £186/week. I would be interested in working 5 days/week and hiring the van from them. This would leave me with an income of £314/week. Does anyone know if i would then pay income tax + national insurance on the gross £500 or net £314? Thanks

Don't forget to minus the fuel costs. You could probably earn more in McDonalds with a lot less stressBe Alert..........Britain needs lerts.0

Do you not need to figure insurance into that amount as well?
I know it might not be a lot on its own per week, but when added to all the other costs, will take you to a bit below your £314/week before tax/NI0 -
Hi, thanks for the replies.
The £186/week includes hire and insurance.
They reimburse us at 15p/mile of fuel, not great, but better than nothing.
Have spoke to a few people about this and no one seems certain :S0 -

To answer that question -
as a self-employed person you are assessed for tax and NI on your nett earnings (your profit) not the gross.0 -
Thanks for clearing that up general!0

I would avoid it like the plague.
I know of several people who have done this job in the past and its a horror story. Ridiculously long hours, ridiculous expectations and relentless.
They pay you £100 a day rather than an hourly rate because you'll have to work all the hours god sends a day to get the work done that they expect you to do.0
