Special Tax & Superannuation topics 2022-23 - Employee v Contractor
The issue of whether a worker is an employee or a contractor has been a disputed area, fraught with danger for payers for some time. There has been significant evolution over the last 30 years or so in this area. After a period when the interpretations seemed to have settled down, the issue is again undergoing significant upheaval, driven by recent High Court decisions and often surrounding “sharing economy” work.
