HMRC Employment History...!!!

[uk_boy]

Hi Gurus,

I called up HMRC and got my Employment History for the last six years. I have worked for 3 different companies as a Contractor in the last six years. The empoyement history from HMRC has the name of my Limited company for all the employment and taxes paid on their records, and not the name of all the companies I had worked before.

So, gurus is it okey to have the name of the ltd compnay on HMRC Records or they should have the name of the companies I work for as a contractor.

Also, on the AN Form under employment history, under 'Employer Name' should i just mentioned the name of my 'Limited Company' or the details of all the three companies that i had worked before. Please advise on this.

So, one date for the limited company from 2010 - 2016

Thanks for all ur help in advance.

Regards...

If you were contracting through your Ltd company and 'invoicing' them, then yes its fine, provided your tax affairs are all in order. You were not employed by each company, ie. on their PAYE payroll.

Thanks for being super quick with your reply CR001...appreciat it buddy..

Can you kindly advise what do you mean when you say Invoicing them.

Well, I would sign the employmet contract with the hiring agency, i.e., HAYS and would work for their client. At the end of the month I invoice my Agency [i.e, HAYS] and they transfer the money into my business bank account, and I withdraw some money as salray and dividend, as laid out by my accountant. Hope this is what you mean CR001.

So, I was confused if I need to put the employment details of the hiring agency i.e., HAYS or my Ltd company.

So, can i put something like this, as mentioned below:

From To Occupation Employer_Name Employer_Address
2010 2016 IT Consultant Ltd Company Name Ltd Company Address

Also, the ltd company address is on my house address, is this fine and i can put my house address, or should i use my accountant addresss.

Please advise..

Regards...

Yes, you are/were employed by your limited company.

Your employer is the entity that pays you salary.
