Provided the relevant conditions are met (see ESM2034), the provisions of the agency legislation will apply when:

  • the agency is an unincorporated body of which the worker is a member, or
  • a worker provides the services (see ESM2050) as a partner in a firm or a member of an unincorporated body. In these circumstances, remuneration received by the worker is treated for income tax purposes as income of the worker and not as income of the firm or body.
