Just a thought....look up each of these entities online (Dun & Bradstreet is a good place to start) & you will realise that they are private corporations...then ask yourself: If I don't have a binding contract with these entities, then why and how am I obliged to pay them anything? If you have an ird (probably the same as an NIC in the UK, SIN in Canada, TFN in Australia), then it means you MAY act as a government employee...my question that results from that becomes: IF you are claiming that having an ird makes me a government employee, and that in turn creates a liability & obligation on my part, then YOU must be able to show evidence of my active employee status, via payslips, time sheets, employment contracts etc... I am more than happy to pay you whatever you claim, upon production of these records. However, before I can pay YOU, I think that YOU owe me a bunch of back pay, holiday bonuses, long service leave etc, because I don't recall receiving a pay packet from your office... But first, read EVERY post in here, search for the GOLD...it will take hours, the banter will drive you nuts & you will start to get it & the result? Better questions...Good luck ;-)
