Supervision, Direction and Control
Supervision, Direction and Control
Are your workers under your supervision, direction or control?
Not sure if your workers are under your supervision, direction or control? If you don’t find out you could be at risk of a large fine from HMRC. Speak to us to find out how to avoid this!
If any of the below describes your workers – then HMRC would deem them as an employee.
So what will HMRC do if they believe you have been using CIS incorrectly?
In HMRC’s eyes you’re guilty until proven innocent and it’s extremely difficult to prove that supervision, direction or control never applied. If HMRC deem workers to be an employee then they will send you a bill for all the employment costs you’ve missed during the last 7 years. If you are paying 10 workers £500 per week, HMRC will treat this as a net payment and add tax, national insurance and holiday pay for every week that person has worked. That adds up! Use our calculator to see just how big the fine you would have to pay would be.

Why bother with CIS payroll?
CIS is a great option for construction businesses who have subcontractors that need paying regularly, as it gives flexibility and keeps costs low. No Employer NI, holiday pay or pension contributions are due, meaning each project you work on is more profitable with a self employed workforce. This makes it an attractive prospect, however, it is worth noting that if used incorrectly CIS can lead to large fines and HMRC investigation.
