Is an avon rep a self-employed job?
From a tax point of view, I think you are self-employed as an Avon rep. There is no sick or holiday pay, you work hours to suit yourself, you can delegate the work to someone else if you wish, you are not working on employer’s premises or using his equipment. There is no contract of employment. You would take any profit or loss (for example if travelling expenses were more than your profits). You should complete an annual Tax Return including a self-employment page. You do not get “wages” from Avon, just your profits after you pay for your supplies. Look at http://www.hmrc.gov.uk , then into individuals, other topics, then into toolbar, employment status indicator.
