The problem you have here, is that as a ‘Mate’, you are supervised.
Being supervised means you do not meet the criteria for being considered self employed.
As far as I am aware, until you become qualified, the only way round this is to set up a Ltd Co.
Nonsense, Nobody is un-supervised on site not even the supervisors. Control and supervision directives are rules or tests imposed by HMRC to prevent someone who is and should be employed on a full time PAYE basis ie. An Office Secretary in a permant, fixed working environment, from going self employed and minimising their tax position.
We have the CIS scheme to ensure we pay up front.
This scheme doesn't apply to us as the building site is temporary and when it's completed we have no job.
Not even a labourer is exempt this scheme. Carpet fitter's and architects and cleaners nobody else.
They use their fake concerns about legal compliance with the above law, that has nothing to do with the construction industry and remove them and place them in highly illegal and lucrative umbrella schemes.
My advice is go on the HMRC website under supervision direction and control, take the self assessment test/short answer question and pass the results to the filthy animal scumbag c u nt of an agent.
