Look after yourself

Article Abstract:

It is hard to distinguish a self-employed worker from an employed worker, and tax burdens can often fall on the employer if mistakes are made. The Inland Revenue advises employers to make sure self-employed workers supply material for the job, have undertaken many jobs throughout the year and provide an estimate before starting a job. Some of these criteria are hard to prove, or must be taken on trust. The Inland Revenue is looking for independence in the working live of a self-employed person.

Avoiding the landfill tax

Article Abstract:

From 1st October, 1996, H.M. Customs and Excise has taxed materials disposed of to licensed landfill areas by charging seven pounds sterling for active material and two pounds sterling for inactive material per tonne. Landfill operators have increased charges, up to 20 pounds sterling per tonne. Several penalties may be incurred if waste is disposed of without a licence. Methods of tax avoidance centre round the classification of waste and whether the material is recyclable.

Landfill tax update

Article Abstract:

The UK government is seeking to improve waste management procedures by increasing landfill taxation from 7 pounds sterling per tonne to 10 pounds sterling per tonne in April 1999. Waste management firms may be able to avoid paying the increased tax as there are 43 exceptions to the new legislation, which have to be registered with the Environment Agency. Exception will be given for removing contaminated waste, where the project is involved in reclamation clearing.
