Migrant workers: self employed - joint WTC and CTC claim
If the customer is self employed and claiming CTC as well as WTC you will also have to consider whether the migrant worker has a R2R.
If the migrant worker satisfies the WTC entitlement, they will have a R2R in the UK as a worker.
Note: If the migrant worker is self employed and claiming CTC for children back in the Other Member State (OMS) they may need to pay Class 2 NI Contributions. These cases are complex and would be worked by the International Team. For more information on NI Contributions please see, CCM20370
If following your investigations there is no entitlement to WTC, the customer may still be entitled to claim CTC if they can satisfy for another reason such as self sufficiency. For guidance on Self Sufficiency, see CCM20380
