What is SDC – and why does it matter?

SDC stands for Supervision, Direction, or Control, and is a key tests that HMRC uses to decide if a worker should be taxed as self-employed under CIS or treated as an employee under PAYE.

If your contractors are subject to SDC, you could be responsible for full PAYE tax deductions, not just CIS.

Getting it wrong risks fines, penalties, and tax investigations.
