The Bespoke Payroll Solution for the Construction Industry
EEBS have been helping the Construction Industry for over 20 years
The aim of the business then, and now is to help construction firms remain both compliant with their employment and tax responsibilities in relation to their use of self-employed sub-contractors, and to remain commercially competitive. Since we went into business, we have constantly updated our business model, contracts and operating procedures in response to the ever-changing regulatory landscape.
We continue to invest significant time, money and expertise into our business to ensure that we can offer clients bespoke arrangements that give clients robust, HMRC compliant solutions which have never been challenged by the tax authorities, and includes a 100% guarantee to protect clients, and their businesses from the threats they face in order to maintain a compliant workforce and a competitive edge.
Our Guarantee
EEBS shoulder the full legal responsibility for the self-employed sub-contractors we supply to you – providing you with complete peace of mind and allowing you the freedom to choose the workforce that you want. During 20 plus years of business, we have had over 50 clients inspected by HMRC whilst using our services. Not once has our business model (and therefore our client) ever been challenged, proving to be 100% HMRC compliant.
If after a status investigation HMRC were to challenge our arrangements, or if a sub-contractor were to take you to an employment tribunal whilst being supplied by us, we will manage the entire process for you, with full legal support. If we were to lose the case (and to date we have never lost a case), we would pay all the associated costs. That is the EEBS 100% compliance guarantee for your construction business.
We continue to invest significant time, money and expertise into our business to ensure that we can offer clients bespoke arrangements that give clients robust, HMRC compliant solutions which have never been challenged by the tax authorities, and includes a 100% guarantee to protect clients, and their businesses from the threats they face in order to maintain a compliant workforce and a competitive edge.
“We specialise in working with small to medium contractors to help them retain as much commercial flexibility as legislation allows, and avoid unnecessary costs.”
