Ken Killoran, Partner in Employment Tax and Global Mobility Services at Forvis Mazars: Ken will go through the decision-making framework that charities are required to use to determine whether a worker is an employee or self-employed for employment tax purposes, arising from the recent Supreme Court judgement in the recent Domino’s Pizza case and the Revenue Guidance Note of May this year.
