EEBS - Why us?

In recent Parliamentary announcements, the Government has reaffirmed its commitment to tackling what it perceives as “disguised employment” within the construction industry.

This means that any contractor still engaging subcontractors direct is potentially at risk.

Since the introduction of new computer systems and software, HMRC now have the technology to flag up automatically any subcontractors who

• Work predominantly for one contractor
• Are paid regularly
• Are paid few materials

Any company found (by using HMRC’s own vague guidelines) to have “disguised employees” working for them may be subject to:

• Back taxes (up to 6 years)
• Penalties - £3,000 per offence and 100% of any tax considered underpaid.
• Loss of Gross payment Status

Not one of EEBS’ clients has ever been penalised over their engagement of EEBS subcontractors.

EEBS clients enjoy the peace of mind afforded by our protection from

• Employment status reviews
• Employment rights legislation (including redundancy, discrimination, unfair dismissal)
• Opportunistic claims for holiday pay under the WTD
• Asylum and Immigration Act 2004

Many of EEBS’ clients have undergone HMRC inspections over the past 7 years but NOT ONE has faced reclassification of ANY of their subcontractors.
