Helping says: 25 November 2015 at 20:26 I have done some work for my previous employer after hours to assist until the new person is employed. We agreed upon a hourly rate. I must now be paid for these hours. What will be better for me: 1. To invoice the previous employer for the hours Or 2. Let them pay me through their payroll as their employee? What will the income tax implications be with both these options? |

If they deduct PAYE then at least you have prepaid some of the tax already. |
