Nine new hiring a PA factsheets
Disability Rights UK are working, together with the Low Income Tax Reform Group (LITRG) to run a series of half day events exploring the tax implications of employing a personal assistant to meet health or social needs.
LITRG have produced nine factsheets that will help you understand your tax and national insurance responsibilities if you are taking on a personal assistant. These are:
- Taking on a personal assistant
 - Tax employment status
 - Registering as an employer
 - Choosing a filing method
 - Real Time Information (RTI)
 - Paper filer employers
 - 'Pay' for tax and NIC purposes
 - Making payments
 - Getting more help
 
LITRG have also produced an introductory guide "Taking on a personal assistant", which gives an overview of the things you need to think about if you are taking on a personal assistant.
