Emails seen by Times Money show employment agencies taking business from their rivals by permitting workers on their books to be paid through “umbrella” companies that are being investigated by HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC).
However, emails show that new schemes suspected to be tax avoidance measures are still being set up to get around taxation rules. One expert said there were “dozens” in operation, being permitted by recruitment agencies all over the country, with thousands of social workers and locum nurses among their customers.
Emails seen by Times Money show how Tripod Partners, a recruitment consultant based in London and Luton believed to have hundreds of social workers and locum nurses on its books, permitted its contractors to have their affairs managed by Smart Pay, which HMRC suspects is a tax-avoidance scheme.
