HELLO

Am I considere a employee? Or a self-employed person?

Read my case:

I am a LLC (limited liability company) owner.

I have a plastic factory.
I have 1% of the shares, while my father, which is my partner, have 99%.

I am sort of a general manager.

I work I guess 50-600h per week during almost 4 years already, but I got no salary at all. Sometimes I use some of the company's profits to pay for my stuff. I have a husband that pays for everything so I don't take money from the company, that's why I never thought of having a formal salary.

In my opinion, a self-employed person is more like a lawyer, doctor.

All the sales receipts my company emits its on the company's name, not on my name.

What do you think?

Am I considere a employee? Or a self-employed person?

i had the same confusion. but luckily my spouse was employed in other companies and clearing the cutoffs with her as primary applicant. we just did not take a chance with myself as PA (higher score) and went with spouse as PA (lower score, but above prevailing cutoff).
