We can help with reporting required under the Onshore Employment Intermediaries legislation.
By way of background the legislation requires recruitment agencies to report to HMRC on all the workers they place on assignments. If on agency payroll this should already be done on a weekly basis (if paid weekly) through RTI reporting. If the agency pays the individual elsewhere (e.g. to an umbrella, a limited company or under CIS) then it must report the payment on a quarterly basis to HMRC.
Here are the deadlines that you need to be aware of:
| Reporting period | Deadline date | Date you can replace a report by | |
|---|---|---|---|
| 6th April to 5th July | 5th August | 5th November | |
| 6th July to 5th October | 5th November | 5th February | |
| 6th October to 5th January | 5th Febraury | 5th May | |
| 6th January to 5th April | 5th May | 5th August |
HMRC requires: name, address, UTR number
HMRC would require your name, address, DOB, gender, NI number
HMRC requires the start and end date of assignment and payment details (including VAT)
To keep things as simple as possible for the agencies we work with, PayStream have a portal which allows agencies to download all of the above information in CSV format, in the exact format that HMRC require it, ready for submission to HMRC. All it takes is the click of a mouse.
These reports are downloadable at any time and can then be checked against information held by the agency before being sent off to HMRC as part of the agencies quarterly report. Obviously if all workers are through PayStream there will be no need to amalgamate this report with others from other umbrella companies.
