Will I need to fill in a tax return for my EPlumber earnings?

All EPlumber plumbers choose how much work they want to undertake and, as such, are paid on a job-by-job basis. This means they work as freelancers rather than being employees of EPlumber, and, as such, will need to complete a tax return in respect of any earnings they receive from work they undertake for EPlumber. This can be done by registering with HMRC and can be completed online and is the responsibility of each individual plumber and not EPlumber.

How much will I get paid?

Earnings are…..

Mon – Fri
0800 – 1730 75
1800 – 0800 105
Sat, Sun and bank holidays 105

Do I need a uniform?

There is no requirement for a uniform when working as a driver through EPlumber. However, presenting a clean and professional appearance always gives a good impression.

Some jobs may require certain items of clothing such as:

  • High viz vest
  • Steel toe cap boots

These requirements will be noted in the EPlumber messaging app.
