Employee vs selfemployed........another article that says employee.

Why is the CRA not going after all the money they're owed?
Why are the other governmental agencies not going after what they're owed as well?

An article stating people in this industry are intentionally avoiding paying into the system which ultimately results in the rest of us paying more.

 

Gokiddogo........you own the gear and perform deductions and submit them then that would be considered an employee/enployer relationship.

A guy owns his own gear and pays for it through the monies you have paid him, is able to refuse work and able to put anyone to work using his own gear then he MAY be considered a subcobtractor. Ad we all know that Mackie lost an argument about the fact of wether or not an O/O can be considered an independant contractor.....Mackie lost. The court said for the purposes of bargaining they were employees.

At the end of the day...... unless we have our own authority.....were most likely all emoyees in the eyes of the law regardless of how the paperwork is done.

 

I am refering to the fact that many people who say they are "subcobtractors" do not actually meet the basic criteria set by the Canada revenue agency. Which would mean that these drivers are not entitled to the deductions which they are claiming. Cars, gas and a room in their house as an office. All deductions that they're not entitled too.

Driver services are very keen to offer $18/hr + HST to budding "business men" who see themselves ad subcobtractors which when audited would actually see them as employees.

Take note in the article in regards to the section which states drivers are closing the HST accounts and NOT submitting the tax.
Canada pension plan is also missing out on revenue with the self employed driver not paying into the program. Under an employee/emoloyer relationship the emoloyer would deduct the money and submit it.

If I am not understanding you explain it to me again. I have a very keen Intetest in this aspect of our industry simply because this scenario is costing honest working drivers money in the form of stagnant wages.

 

Ok.....you're not telling me anything I don't know. I just wanted to make sure.

Iam talking along the lines of the article and the article states that there are drivers reporting to be self employed when they are in actuality employee.

In Ontario you don't even need a social insurance number. You simply pay yourself through the corporation you hold the incorporation number you hold. Driver services don't care or even have to care what is done with the money once it leaves their hands, as long as they're paying to a corporation that has an HST number they're all good in the eyes of the law.

If "pseudo" selfemployed drivers are shutting down HST accounts what makes us think that they're paying CCP?
