Self-employment is where a person works for themselves rather than someone else or a company that they do not own. To be self-employed, an individual is normally highly skilled in a trade or has a niche product or service for their local community. With the creation of the Internet the ability for an individual to become self-employed has increased dramatically. The amount of money spent on self-help, self-improvement and training materials has reached the billions in the past decade.

Self-employed people can also be referred to as a person who works for himself/herself instead of an employer, but drawing income from a trade or business that they operate personally.

To be self-employed is not the same as being a business owner: A business owner is not required to be hands-on with the day-to-day operations of his or her company, while a self-employed person has to utilize a very hands-on approach in order to survive.

Is it better or worse to be self employed in my case?
Q. I am a hair stylist, and I have worked on commission for 5 years. My boss has decided to change us to being self employed so she doesn't have to pay taxes on us anymore. The only thing that is changing is that we will now be responsible for deducting our own taxes, and we will now have to pay more. She is not changing our pay scale in commission or giving any other options in pay. The way I see it is now I will be paying more out and taking the same in? Does this sound fair? I really don't know much about taxes and being self employed.

A. Working as a 1099 self employee is worse for you.. because you will now need to pay your own taxes.. may even be required to pay quarterlies depending on your credits and deductions. It could also be better for you to write off certain expenses and the following: Your boss better know what she is doing before just changing everyone to 1099s.. she must pass the IRS 20 point test, which is a list of 20 questions to help an employer determine if they are paying people 1099 legally or not. One thing that must now change, you do not have to report to work on her schedule any longer.. you are now essentially, "working for yourself" and can make your own hours. She also will need to charge rent for you to work at your station instead of… [cont.]

As a Self Employed worker - can i still move into my mums home which is owned by A housing assosciation?
Q. I am self employed, and want to move back home with my mother who lives in a house owned by a housing assosciation. I have been told that i may not - does anyone know if this is true? Yes my mum does receive housing benefits, and it would be fine to top up the rent on this. Although i am self employed i do work for a company and have my invoices from them and do not work at home, but am based in a office? Does this matter?

A. If you notify the HA that you have moved in and the house has enough sleeping accommodation it should be OK. The HA would not allow 'overcrowding' (more people than there are bedrooms for). Also if your mother receives Housing Benefit (help towards her rent) that would be affected and they would need to be notified of the changes in household income. Other benefits that your mother may receives could also be affected due to extra income from your earnings. !!! You cannot run a business from a Council house or Housing Association address, you would need separate premises for that ! Addition, If you work from a different address and send your invoices from there and all business accounts are from there it should be fine. Also you can't… [cont.]
