Thomson Reuters understands that the taxpayer has discontinued its appeal to the Full Federal Court from the decision of Bromberg J in On Call Interpreters and Translators Agency Pty Ltd v FCT (No 3) [2011] FCA 366. In that decision, which now stands, the Federal Court held that interpreters engaged by a business to provide interpreting and translating services were “employees” for superannuation guarantee purposes and not independent contractors.
[FJM Note: See ATO Decision Impact Statement on this case, saying that will not take the more extreme views of Bromberg J on being paid for a result as establishing the law.]
