Domino's Pizza wins appeal meaning drivers must be treated as self-employed

Pizza chain had appealed against a Revenue Appeals Commissioner's findings that drivers under contracts 'of' services (rather than 'for' services) were taxable workers paying PAYE and national insurance

Karshan claimed Domino's delivery riders operated under contracts "for" services, were therefore self-employed and responsible for their own tax deductions. File picture

Delivery drivers for a company in the Domino's Pizza franchise must be treated as self-employed independent contractors, the Court of Appeal has found.

The appeal court overturned a High Court finding in 2020 that the drivers should be treated as PAYE workers rather than self-employed.
