Good afternoon,
As you may be aware, the HMRC have put in place new legislation to counteract tax avoidance and reduce 'false self-employment.' This includes The Income Tax (Pay as you Earn) (Amendment No.2) Regulations 2015 (“ITEPA”) reporting requirements which come into force on 6th April 2015.
What does this mean?
From 6th April 2015 all UK recruitment firms will be legally required to submit quarterly reports to the HMRC detailing the gross payments made to their contractors. HMRC will also require the name, address and National Insurance numbers for each individual.
This will affect all contractors engaged via personal service companies or via umbrella companies who have not been subject to PAYE deductions. This information will be submitted to the HMRC via their online system and will be held securely.
HMRC's have issued further guidance on the new reporting regulations which can be found here:
