Recorded Webinar: Employee vs Contractor – Master of your Domain or Servant of Another?

There has always been widespread confusion amongst employers and accountants as to whether a person providing labour services is a contractor or employee. Uncertainty in this area has potentially serious ramifications as employers may be neglecting their employer obligations. This session seeks to help practitioners understand the distinctions between employers and contractors and the payroll tax implications. The following areas will be examined:

• Employees and contractors under the common law
• “Deemed employees”
• The “Master/Servant” relationship
• Employer obligations (e.g. Worker’s Compensation, Fair Work legislation, Jobkeeper, Super Guarantee) – do these imposts form part of the tax base for calculating tax payable?
• Inconsistencies and similarities between regulatory regimes
• The “Relevant Contract” and “Employment Agency” provisions
