My daughter works part time as a gymnastics coach during summer & term breaks from Uni.
The gym owners want her to register with HMRC as self employed so they do not have to make pension contributions.
She works for one gym in one location at hours set by the gym, which doesn't sound like self employment to me.
She grosses maybe £1K p.a. & is not particularly bothered by the gym owner's lack of contributions or about enrolling in the Workplace Pension there but she doesn't want to run afoul of HMRC & doesn't know if she will be excluding herself from anything else by registering as self employed.
The gym is demanding a 'unique tax reference number' (which I understand you can only get if registered as self employed) before they pay her.
What should she do?
