    Hi,

    Im currently working as a groundworker in construction. Im only working 12 months at this an am a little inexperienced. Ive been offered €20 by my employer to go self employed. Im currently on 17.04. Is this a good idea or bad idea ?? Any opinions welcome thanks. Also in the future I could get more but I lack the experience and knowledge ATM.

    Your employer can't make you self employed. It doesn't work like that. Any employer offering such a deal runs the risk of having these individuals recalssified as employees with the associated taxes due along with interest and penalties.

    If you count in 20 days holidays. 9 other bank holidays and 11% prsi. And loosing out on any possible social welfare if the job was to go

    Your looking at wanting at least e25 ph. As you will have to pay someone to look after your income tax , vat and rct
