He fills in a self assessment form and puts down he works 16 hrs, he then apples for what ever benefits he's getting, and sorts himself some insurance out.

u pay him a slightly higher rate than u would normally pay paye, and as long as u keep a copy of what u have paid him so u can claim back the costs, that's pretty much it

I would make him give you an invoice for everything you pay him.  If you just give him the money the tax man could argue you are employing him and you could be liable for all his back tax and national insurance.

Have a read through this and make sure you get everything down in writing. Be careful as I've known guys who have fallen foul of the Inland Revenue simply because of a lack of paperwork and it cost them dearly.
