You aren't self-employed.

It may be the case that you are being paid as a Subcontractor, but you aren't one and therefore cannot be self-employed. You are an employee, but the Company are illegally trying to remove your employment rights through fraudulent self-employment.

Joe I doubt that in between now and February you will earn over the £10K tax limit. All the tax you pay from now until then will be refundable. Please keep all your receipts for tools, expenses etc for the end of the tax year and get a cheap local accountant to do your books for this year. No point in paying £400 to an accountant to claim a £300 tax rebate!

Assuming he's not earned anything else so far this year.

Straight up your boss is a cowboy! Sounds like he's cutting all sorts of costs to line his own pocket and screw you whilst making it sound like he's doin you a favour. Bottom line is you can't be self employed and an apprentice. You should be a paye employee receiving Wages, stamp paid, holiday pay, courses paid, fully insured. Quite frankly in my eyes your boss is a ****!!

As stated in an earlier post, you cant be S-E and only have a single source of income.
You can't have working hours determined by others.

There's loads more to the definition.
HMRC could investigate and both you and the "Employer" could be faced with bills for N.I and P.A.Y.E liability.
