Hello,
Invisible is right and, with the introduction of Making Tax Digital for Self-Assessment, HMRC will have details of all transactions from almost all self-employed people, which it will then be able to share with the DWP. I don't really understand the Minimum Income Floor, but it is punitive to claimants who are genuinely self-employed, but occasionally make a loss. (As all genuinely self-employed people do, from time to time.) The DWP's idea of self-employment seems to encompass only those who are doing regular work for companies who really should be paying them properly as employees, not dodging NICs and other statutory payments.
However, for tax purposes, you should be alright if transactions are kept below £1,000. I don't believe this is the same for UC though.
Best wishes,
Wendy

Nothing on this board constitutes legal advice - always consult a professional about specific problems

Hi Wendy Woo
Yes you are right to bring up the subject of workers/employees who are made to sign a self employed contract but in reality have to do what their bosses tell them. You see alot of that in delivery driving and cleaning which means they will be put under the Minimum Income Floor by UC.

Hello David,
This situation worries me, as my husband has been self-employed all his life and we failed to migrate to UC from Working Tax Credits, which was a much kinder system, because of this. We are close to retirement, so it doesn't matter so much to us, but it has really affected some of his friends and I really feel for anyone stuck in this punitive system.
Thanks for all your good advice.
