The Risk

Do you know if your sub-contractors are truly self-employed?

HMRC could attack the subcontractor’s engagement status, even if you have your own contract and procedures in place. They could argue that they are workers or employees of your business.

Engaging self-employed subcontractors is a complicated matter. Getting it wrong could attract tax liabilities and penalties causing significant disruption for your business.

Are you managing your CIS responsibilities correctly?

The Construction Industry Scheme (CIS) sets out the rules for how payments to subcontractors working in construction must be handled.
 
The scheme can be a minefield and getting it wrong could lead to HMRC penalties and disrupt your subcontractor’s earnings and tax payments putting them off engaging with you.

The Good News!

We can help you get it right.

Here’s how we can help

Your BusinessSubcontractors

01.

A safe pair of hands to keep you compliant

By stepping into the contractual chain as a Commercial Contractor, we not only professionally assess, engage and verify subcontractors with HMRC, but also take on all the commercial, legal and tax responsibilities of contracting. 

As an FCSA accredited company, your business and workforce are in safe hands. In a nutshell, we help you to work with subcontractors on a continuous, long-term basis in a safe and legal way. 

02.

A simple, safe and cost-effective way to manage subcontractors

Take the hassle and risk out of managing subcontractors with our MyIndigo online platform.  Once you’re set up, our dedicated team and bespoke digital platform will manage everything for you.

From verifying subcontractor’s UTRs and insurances, to checking right to work and modern slavery, to taking care of remittances and invoices, we’ve got it covered. 

03.

Time for a CIS check-up?

If you use the same subcontractors on a regular long-term basis, they could be at risk of being classed as employees by HMRC.

It’s a fine line between getting it right, and getting it horribly wrong. That’s why, we offer a free CIS compliance check to find out if you’re on the right track.

A smart and safe way to subcontract

The subcontractor is our responsibility, and we ensure you have a totally transparent and compliant workforce.

It means that we manage everything for them, from initial vetting, HMRC verification and setup, to regular email and text updates. We also provide weekly payment certificates and annual statements of earnings to help keep their self-assessments simple, safe and hassle-free.

Managing subcontractors doesn’t get much easier or smarter than through our MyIndigo platform.

02.

Avoid tax and late payment problems

Remember, even if you have a contract in place and believe your workforce are self-employed, HMRC may successfully argue that they are not. If that happens, you could be liable for a hefty tax bill, late payment penalties, and worse, reputational damage for your business! 

We remove the risk by directly engaging the subcontractors, managing their CIS status, and taking full responsibility for deductions and payments to HMRC.  This helps you and the subcontractor avoid any minefields.

03.
