yes Nikki, thats the way I interpret it.  They say you can chose to do it over 6 months or 12 months whichever works better for you and that you need to average it out.  I was not expecting to have enough hours but it looks like I will...just!!  Thank god for the extra hours I did earlier.]]> Wed, 15 Oct 2008 20:40:32 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=21691&PID=518544&title=ppl-as-self-employed#518544 <![CDATA[PPL as self employed : So can you average out the hours?...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=21691&PID=518536&title=ppl-as-self-employed#518536 Author: Nikki

So can you average out the hours? So if I get pg and work less towards the end it will still be OK as long as it averages out to over 10 hours / week? (I'm working 2-4 days a week at the mo, but may end up only doing 1-2 depending on what work I have).]]> Wed, 15 Oct 2008 20:34:52 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=21691&PID=518536&title=ppl-as-self-employed#518536 <![CDATA[PPL as self employed : Cool thanks.

I got PPL as a self employed person, there is a form you can download for this. I put infor 10 hrs per week as I was doing the accounts for our business and some running around as well. I went through our accountant as she is a friend so didn't charge me! I had no problems getting it, they sent a letter which took about 3 weeks to come through I think, might have been 4 - preggy brain here!!

It comes every fornight and is for the full amount of time. You should have no problems getting it.

Good luck with it all

I found this link but it isn't very clear. I can't figure out how this applies to DH (it's his business). ]]> Wed, 15 Oct 2008 17:33:42 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=21691&PID=518367&title=ppl-as-self-employed#518367 <![CDATA[PPL as self employed : No help sorry, but have recently...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=21691&PID=518337&title=ppl-as-self-employed#518337 Author: caliandjack

No help sorry, but have recently gone self employed myself so will be interested to know how you get on.
I found how much you got a bit vague too.]]> Wed, 15 Oct 2008 16:58:36 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=21691&PID=518337&title=ppl-as-self-employed#518337 <![CDATA[PPL as self employed : Hi there, I am about to send...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=21691&PID=518326&title=ppl-as-self-employed#518326 Author: peanut butter

Hi there,

 

I am about to send off my application for PPL as a self employed person.  Has anyone done this before or have any advice?  The website is so ambiguous.  I think I am eligible as since June I have been doing  a combo of locuming and also doing the accounts for my father's business.  Both of which I invoice them for and do GST etc.  My hours at the moment have dropped as I am not locuming right now but Iw as doing heaps before so when I average it out as 6 months leading up to EDD I get 10.3hrs per week (phew!).  I guess it feels wrong as I will get more on PPL than I am currently getting but I guess not as much as I was getting a month ago so it is all legit. 

 

Why do they make you feel like you are doing something dodgy?  I think its all the declarations you have to sign.  I am not going through my accountant as I am too tight to pay for his time and he is sooooo slow.  So I am going with the declaration in front of a JP.  I figure I have copies of all my invoices etc so if they ever audit me I should be ok.

 

Any tips? Past experiences etc?
