If home tutors are under a contract of service and are therefore employees, why is it that their prsi class is still S (ie self-employed) and not A? Under class A tutors would be able to avail of certain benefits ie jobseekers benefit as opposed to allowance. If home tutors are being assessed as prsi class S then surely they have the right to file a tax return claiming self-employment expenses as they were previously able to. They surely cannot be both employees and self-employed. Please clarify?
