Q: Why do you need EEBS to help you with your CIS Payroll?

It's no secret that for many years conflict has existed between the UK tax authorities and the construction industry over the employment status of sub-contractors.

This is because we have up to seven times more people in self-employment in the construction industry compared to any other sector of the economy (except the performing arts), and HMRC ignores the historic and practical reasons for our reliance on self-employment and take the view that the difference is simply "disguised employment" rather than a genuine choice for both individuals and contractors and view this as just a ruse for avoiding employers national insurance contributions.
