Case Study 1:
Recruitment Agency Avoids CIS Liability
Challenge
A company providing self-employed labour to the construction market received an HMRC enquiry into the handling of their CIS taxes. The company faced a bill of approximately £400,000 in CIS liabilities.
Solution
Contacted our tax advisory service, GuildHub. GuildHub is run by Richard and Julia Clutterbuck, who both spent a combined 50 years in the revenue. Together, they guided the client through the process and HMRC had found they had taken reasonable care in the process. As a result, the case was dropped.
Results
Zero HMRC Penalties
No PAYE liability exposure post-2026 legislation.
