HRMC warning over care payment responsibilities

A man who was paying carers like members of staff found himself being chased by a debt collection agency instructed by HM Revenue and Customs

I'm John Warburton with news that a man who was paying carers like members of staff found himself being chased by a debt collection agency instructed by HM Revenue and Customs. Simon Hattenstone was trying to arrange care for his mother who didn’t want to leave her home in Manchester and did the best he could to pay care staff directly. The government’s MoneyHelper website says for many people, using a home care agency is a lot less hassle than employing someone yourself.
