7. Risk of Engagement for Your Organisation
The legal landscape for contracting is constantly changing.
 Are contractors carrying insurance, as bona fide contractors should?
 Is your organisation fulfilling its:
 Payroll Tax obligations under the relevant contracts provision?
 WorkCover obligations?
 Employer obligations when engaging ABN only individuals?
 Are you engaging ‘Pty Ltds’?
 Are these contracts compliant in terms of the substance (its intention) over form (what
is actually happening)?
 What instrument (the contract) is in place that removes the “grey” area of current
contractual arrangements?
 are all parties compliant?
 are contractors really employees?
 For individuals under Labour Hire income is PSI, unless otherwise assessed.
 How are you treating your PSI?
 ATO crackdown as per Tax Alert of March 2nd 2011
