Construction Industry - experience on dealing with the complex scheme.

Tax Platform have in-depth experience on dealing with this complex scheme.

•Register you with HMRC as a contractor
•Verify your subcontractors with HMRC
•Ensure you pay your subcontractors correctly within the scheme
•Supply deduction statements to the subcontractors
•Keep your records in good order and supply HMRC with monthly returns

Services we provide for subcontractors:
