CIS tax review: tell the Revenue what you think

Contract Journal has teamed up with Grant Thornton to gauge industry reaction to the Inland Revenue's suggestion that all labour-only subcontractors should be subject to PAYE and National Insurance (CJ 7 April).
We want to know your opinion on the matter, following which Grant Thornton will make representations to the Inland Revenue based on the results.
Kathryn Hiddleston, tax partner at Grant Thornton, said: "The Inland Revenue has indicated that representatives of the construction industry have proposed this change. It seems probable that the suggestion has come from major contractors, but it will not be as welcome to the majority of small- to medium-sized businesses.
"The additional costs of National Insurance, holiday, sickness, maternity and paternity pay, and the complicated employment legislation will be frightening for smaller companies."
Paymaster General Dawn Primarolo has asked the Inland Revenue to discuss the feasibility of this proposal. In order that it can get a clear idea of the view of the construction industry as a whole, CJ will be sending out an e-mail survey this week to those registered on our database.
