Good Afternoon.
I called the ATO this afternoon and was put through to the Superannuation section. I was looking for guidance on a situation, and even she wasn't confident in what she was saying. This is really hard!
I follow this link......https://www.ato.gov.au/business/employee-or-contractor/difference-between-employees-and-contractors/
But.......not all Sole Traders Fit into the Contractor Column.
Businesses don't want additional costs, I get the whole SG and planning for the future.
Question - to be considered a Contractor and therefore NO SG - does that Sole Trader/Contractor have to fit ALL the criteria in the above link? eg in the situation of a trainer for a sport team.
Control - They chose their hours to train each week (Contractor)
Integration - I'm sure they're furthering their own business, why wouldn't you. (Contractor)
Mode of Remuneration - Fixed fee of $2k a month for work every M/T/W 6-9pm (Contractor)
Ability to subcontract/delegate - they can but they don't (?????)
Tools and Equipment - there are None.
Risk - injury is covered by the Sports Club (?????)
Goodwill - ST benefits (Contractor)
In the above situation, can I count them as a Contractor and therefore NO SG.
Thanks, Belinda
