Has your Recruitment Agency received a letter from HMRC?

As a recruitment agency, you work hard to ensure your business runs smoothly.

Why Recruitment Agencies Are at Risk.

HMRC has made it clear: if you enter into a contract with or make payments to an umbrella company that operates a tax avoidance scheme, you could be considered complicit in enabling these arrangements. This could lead to penalties of 100% of the amount involved and public exposure of your agency’s involvement. Don’t leave your business unprotected.

What Happens If You’re Involved in a Tax Avoidance Scheme?

If you are found to have used an umbrella company operating a tax avoidance scheme, you could face serious consequences. HMRC may:
 
  • Impose penalties amounting to 100% of the amounts received from or paid to the umbrella company involved in the scheme.
  • Publicly disclose your agency's involvement in defeated tax avoidance schemes, causing reputational damage.

Contractor Shield helps you avoid these scenarios by offering preventative advice, auditing your business practices, and preparing you for any HMRC enquiries.

Why Choose Contractor Shield?

Receiving a letter from HMRC can be unsettling. These letters often contain requests for information, notifications of investigations, or other important updates that require your immediate attention. The language can be complex, and the implications might not always be clear. This is where the value of professional support becomes indispensable.
