Stupid agencies....

[Sockpuppet]

Did 3 days ad hoc work for any agency. All done without a contract just purchase order and e-mail agreements etc.

Basically they have paid me as PAYE into the company bank account. Morons. I mean seriously - how stupid are they. I even told them I wasn't giving them my Nat Ins number (which they already had...done some work for them before) as I knew they would feck it up.

Can I legitimatly just take this money out as I've already paid tax on it. Not enough as they did 522L Week 1 and declare it on SA form.

The other way is to take the VAT off it and treat it as a normal invoice which will leave me down but could be the easiest option as it will keep hector happy. Will also keep my SA form simple as I will have 1 "employer" the way I was trying to keep it.

Was thinking SCC but for the amount sub £200 really can't be arsed as its less than my daily rate so if I had to take a day off - also the courts might not understand the whole contractor thing.

Technically I did this while working for my company so it should be classed as their earnings so VAT must apply...


Edit: gah, I'll get this moved to accounting.

Just politely tell them that they have not paid the full invoice amount and they haven't paid you VAT and that if they don't pay it within X number of days (depending on your payment terms) you will charge them for interest.

Currently doing this now. 5.5% + 8% sounds good...but its not that good on a small amount.

Keep it simple. Get them either to pay the extra and let them worry about the paperwork, or refund them the money and they repay you the full amount.
