I did read your post and I do appreciate your expert input :o

I have found a piece of important information that I would like to share,;) Under section 11 of the Act, a worker must be an individual. Therefore, if you engage a corporation they will not be worker as only an individual can be a worker...

I wish that it was this simple

I was just talking to one of my subcontractors who is a company and if I have to pay him 9% super and he has to pay himself 9% (as a director) that's compulsory 18% super right there, Not to mention he has an income protection policy and I have to pay his workers comp,and if he made a...

The difference there is these were distinctively sham contracting. That is employee's one day,forced to subcontract the next with the same conditions and pay. I don't believe we fall into this category,however the same situation can arise. I have just had a recommendation from my...

So what I am hearing you say is it cannot come back on me Pty Lty if I contract another Pty ltd? I subcontracted for Qbuild for many years and also some councils (we are talking 20 years ago) and the councils back paid me super because i used their paint account to purchase chlorinated rubber...

Do you know if this is the case? That is company's hiring company's and having to pay super,workcover Paye Tax,cause one company doesn't pass the test.:confused::confused:

I haven't used the ATO tool so I cant answer that. I only know that common sense tells me if I hire a subcontractor,he supplies all paint,tools,vehicle insurances,and gives a quote,get paid when finished the total job,has retention monies held on each job,to me he is a contractor and when all...

This tool is ********,I used to use this tool as well but when I did a direct determination with work-cover,everyone came back as employees. You need to watch the video on their site to understand fully on what I am saying.

These people that you speak of are actually only employees :rolleyes: They will lose their job at the end of this year unless they form a company or trust.As for paying cash in the building game,it doesn't exist with new homes,just renovations and private jobs.I cant remember when I was...

One of the major things that is going to change the way we hire people is the "Employee or a Contractor" problem ,that will arise at the end of the year when we have to report all payments we make to subcontractors. This will give the ATO and work-cover a position to bring business as we know...
