If a taxpayer does not agree with this decision by the Inland Revenue Department, refused to pay taxes, Jesse describe their own views and opinions in the report.Section1The different between a contract of service and a contract for service. A contract of service (employed): when a taxpayer works as an employee and is in the service of an employer. In other words, she personally work under the control of someone and do not run the risks of having a business herself. Then it’s employer’s responsibility to deduct tax & NICs from her pay under PAYE and pay it to the Revenue.A contract for service (self-employed): when she works as a self-employed who is providing services to a client. In other words, she is in business on your own account and bear the responsibility for the success or failure of that business. Then she is responsible for her own tax and NICs to the Revenue.Section2The criteria that would be used to decide whether or not employed by Abertay Hydroemployee must be subject to a certain degree of control by the engager although control need not be exercised in practice. She can accept or reject client appointments as she choose. It seems that she like self-employed.Financial risks: The more that Jesse bear the financial risk in the work, the more likely to be considered as self-employed. Employees are not usually expected to risk their own capital. The risk of making a loss is a very strong indicator of self-employment and can be decisive on its own. She has always provided her own equipment and material. It seems like a self-employed.Equipment: If she is required to provide some or all of the equipment needed to do the work, she is more likely to be considered self-employed. Where a worker is provided with the necessary equipment, materials and so on by the engager that points to employment. Because she has always provided your own equipment and material, it likes self-employed.Work performance and correction: If a person is required to take full responsibility for the quality of work done and/or to carry out remedial work in her own time and at his own cost, she is more likely considered to be self-employed. An employee will normally be paid for any time required to make corrections to his work. She is responsible for keeping her own diary.Holidays and sickness: If a person is not paid for absence. The presence, in a contract, of benefits such as paid leave, membership of firm’s pension scheme, right to car park，space, canteen facilities and so on is a good indicator that an employment relationship exists. The Hydro did not pay Jesse any holiday pay and sick pay.In conclusion, Jesse is self-employed.Section3taxable person and tax yearTaxable person: Individuals, partners and trusts resident in the UK are usually liable to income tax on their UK and world income.

These are: A payment on account of 50% of the estimated liability on 31 January in the tax year; A second payment on account of 50%on 31 July followingst the end of the tax year; Any balancing payment, along with the SATR, on 31 January following the end of the tax year.To appeal means to send formal (written) notice to the Inland Revenue that Jesse disagree with a decision which they have made in her case. An appeal may be settled by negotiating and reaching agreement with the Inland Revenue or, if this cannot be done, by having the case heard and decided by the General or the SpecialCommissioners. It’s not limited to tax assessment.By whom: Anyone who receives a decision from the Revenue has a right of appeal. Or an authorized professional adviser.To whom: The appeal is to the General Commissioners or, in some cases, the Special Commissioners. They are completely independent of the Revenue.

They are either legally qualified for the role (i.e. special commissioners) or advised by a qualified clerk (i.e. general commissioners).Interest is charged on overdue tax. In addition, a 5% surcharge will be applied if it’s still unpaid after 28 days; a further 5% applied 6 months after the due date. interest is also payable to taxpayers on overpayment.Also there are series of penalties for failures and defaults by taxpayers in relation to: Submission of SATR, Notification of chargeability to tax, Maintenance of records, Falsification of documents.Section6According to the report, this is a detailed plan to help her.
