A friend has been offered a job working cash in hand for a local company. He doesn't want to work illegally, but wants to come off benefits.
If he does get caught out by HMRC, who is liable for the tax and NI? is it the company or the employee? and how will they prove how much he earnt / owes?
Would it be better to declare himself as self employed (even though he isn't!) and put it through offical channels that way? at least then he could make a fair claim for tax credits as he'd be able to declare what he was earning.
