        You’re neither. You are a company director. If you had to pick one I’d go with employed.

          Ring them up and ask them?

            I always choose 'employee' in all forms I need to fill in.
            I am an office holder (director), but the company also pays me a monthly salary, for work other than running the business, which is taxed according to the law.

              Sorry, that only takes two minutes. He'd rather spend five minutes posting the question and half an hour reading the 67 comments in the debate that is going to follow his question.

                2 minutes to ring the council? You've not done that for a while have you?
                See You Next Tuesday

                  ditto.

                  Self-employed usually means something different when it comes to benefits. Although council's may have different rules, but in general company directors class as employees (rightly or wrongly, and the usual caveats, and NLUK's link not-withstanding).
