The areas covered can include: A review of payroll procedures, including statutory payments and national minimum wage A review of benefits-in-kind and P11D procedures To ensure those engaged on a self-employed basis will be accepted as such under IR35 rules due to be rolled out to the private sector in April 2021 Checking that all expenses will meet HMRC’s business expense exemption Reviewing compliance with national insurance regulations Compliance with the construction industry scheme PAYE Healthcheck Construction Industry Scheme (CIS) The Construction Industry Scheme (CIS) can be complex and confusing for contractors and sub-contractors alike, whether you are starting out and new to CIS or you have been in the construction sector for a number of years.
