What is SDV and Why It Matters?
SDV stands for Supervision, Direction or Control — and if any one of those applies to you on site, HMRC may consider you an employee for tax purposes. That means you could lose the right to claim travel, food, tools, and other tax-free expenses. If SDV doesn’t apply, you may be entitled to claim thousands back.
Thousands of subcontractors trust us to handle their tax with no stress, no jargon, and no surprises.
