! Keeping Your Agency Compliant With HMRC
Recruitment agencies sit in the middle of the labour supply chain, and HMRC holds them responsible for much of what happens in it. We protect your business with full compliance on:
- Agency Legislation: Proper treatment of workers treated as employees for tax purposes.
- Off-payroll working (IR35): Compliant placing of limited company contractors.
- Intermediaries Reporting: Quarterly reports for workers paid outside your PAYE scheme.
- Umbrella Company Rules: Managing PAYE liability under the April 2026 legal framework.
- Holiday Pay: Accurate calculations for irregular hours and part-year contracts.
> We will review your current arrangements, highlight exposed areas, and explain required changes in plain English.
