Hi, I've landed a new job, as a book-keeper, on a 3 month contract. But they don't want to put me on the payroll. They said that I can "look after myself" in terms of tax and PRSI. I'm currently signing on (just for credits).
What'll I do? Do I set up as a sole trader? My main concern is that DH is on a BEA allowance and currently gets a Dependent Spouse cut for me. I've no problem with him losing that (my wages will cover it and more), it's losing my "stamp/credits" that's bothering me. If I say nothing I'm defrauding the system and that also bothers me.
I don't know their reasons but I suspect it's that they won't have to pay ER RSI contributions (but they'll be paltry). Any advice please?
