Clampdown date

Article Abstract:

Introduction of new PAYE and National Insurance regulations in the UK means the construction industry must review their workers' employment status. The change in policy could alter the self-employed status of many construction workers who may have to become direct employees, liable for National Insurance and PAYE contributions. Construction companies must assess themselves and should be able to convince authorities their decision is correct, otherwise back-dated contributions may be sought. Circumventing the rules by using employment agency labour is becoming less advantageous.
