14th February 2008:  HMRC announce a new initiative on abuse of dispensations

 

Are you operating an Umbrella or Management company?

 

Do you have an HMRC expenses dispensation, to allow you to pay expenses (including travel and subsistence) gross, in order to keep up with the competition?

 

Are you aware of the fact that in order to comply with the HMRC temporary workplace rules, your contract with your contractors needs to be an ‘over-arching’ employment contract, with mutual obligations spanning from one contract to another?

 

Do you know what is needed for a contract to meet that requirement?

 

Do you realise that if your contract does not comply with this requirement, there is a significant risk that HMRC, after examining your contract, will withdraw your dispensation?

 

How would your business continue, if your dispensation were to be withdrawn?

 

We can help in this field:

For Umbrella and Management companies, Egos offers a legal service, supported by a thorough understanding of the way in which the industry actually works in practice, and of the needs, requirements, and legal issues affecting all those working in it.

 

If you operate an Umbrella and Management company, we can help you to 'get it right'. The risks inherent in such business dealings can be significantly reduced with good documentation. Such documentation also has the advantage of being relatively easy to understand, and as such can in itself be an effective sales tool to complement the skills of your own staff.

 

Naturally, any terms we produce for you will be tailored to your own specific requirements and to your own way of doing business - the things that help to make your own business unique .

 

We will agree a fee in advance (obviously a one-off fee, not an additional charge each time you use the documents - and with no ongoing commitment). All documents will be prepared with proper regard for the real world situations they will govern - and will naturally take into account your own commercial interests.

 

In short - we have helped others in your field - and we can help you.

 

So if you think we may be able to help you in any of these ways, mail us with more details.

 

Confidentiality applies, of course. We will acknowledge your right of confidentiality in connection with anything you disclose to us, and we will not disclose it to anyone else save to such extent as may be authorized by you or required by law.
