jul Julie cannot deduct her spouse expenditure as he is not an employee of company. Therefore the above statement is False. Tax credit is worth more than deduction. Tax credit is reduction in tax payable, whereas deduction is from taxable income. Therefore credit is more beneficial. A person’s employment depends upon the contractual relationship with employer. It is to be determined that whether there is contract of service or contract for service. Also if he is owner of truck and providing services, then he will be self employed. Accordingly, he is a self employed person.

The important aspect is determination of contract of service or contract for service. Therefore, he is a self employed person.
