CHAMPION CONTRACTORS

It's been an interesting few days since last week's autumn statement. The government’s announcement regarding the change in responsibility for those who account for PAYE, where an umbrella company is used within the supply chain, has certainly got people thinking. From my perspective, there are two key things to consider: We have well over twelve months to plan and prepare for the change. It's a perfect opportunity to eliminate non-compliance and unethical practices from our sector for good. For agencies, utilising an Freelancer & Contractor Services Association (FCSA)-accredited and SafeRec-certified organisation like CHAMPION CONTRACTORS, which already operates compliantly and transparently, will present a zero-risk option. It will also mean that they will have to make little or no changes to their current processes in readiness for the change. For information or guidance on preparing for the change of responsibility for accounting for PAYE, feel free to contact me on 0161 703 2549 or email info@championcontractors.co.uk. #tacklingnoncompliance #taxavoidanceschemes #umbrellapayroll #umbrellpaye

In last week’s Autumn Budget, the UK government made a game-changing announcement: 📣 👇 Agencies will now be liable for PAYE, NIC, and Employer NI taxes when an umbrella company is involved. This means proving that taxes have not only been calculated correctly but actually paid to HMRC is more essential than ever. ✅💷 💡 Here’s the hard truth: Many umbrella companies claim compliance with badges only, but few can genuinely prove it. That’s where SafeRec Certified Umbrella Companies like CHAMPION CONTRACTORS set the standard. 🏆 As a SafeRec Certified Umbrella Company, we don’t just talk the talk — our auditor, SafeRec, provides your agency with transparent monthly audit reports 📑, showing that every tax calculation is accurate and every payment has been made to HMRC. 🔍✅ Why does this matter to your agency? 🤔 Partnering with a SafeRec Certified Umbrella Company like ours ensures peace of mind and demonstrates a commitment to full compliance. 🛡️ If your agency truly cares about compliance and reducing risk, why not work with umbrella companies that have nothing to hide and are happy to prove it? 🤝✨ 💬 Compliance isn’t just a box to tick; it’s a fundamental aspect of protecting your business and building trust with clients and contractors. Choose SafeRec Certified Umbrella Companies — where transparency meets true compliance. 🌟 📞 Get in touch with us today by emailing info@championcontractors.co.uk or calling 0161 703 2549. #Compliance #Recruitment #UmbrellaCompanies #SafeRecCertified #TransparencyMatters

A move that went unpredicted by most before last week’s autumn statement was the government's intention to shift the responsibility for who accounts for PAYE, where an umbrella company is used in a labour supply chain to engage a worker. In an update to its Tackling non-compliance in the umbrella company market policy paper, the government confirmed that from April 2026, the responsibility to account for PAYE will shift from the umbrella company that employs the worker to the recruitment agency that supplies the worker to the end client. At CHAMPION CONTRACTORS, we welcome this change and see it as a real opportunity to eliminate tax avoidance schemes and those who promote them from our sector. As an organisation committed to compliance and transparency, Champion is already ideally positioned to support agencies and their end clients well before the proposed legislative change takes effect. If you’d like to understand what you need to do to reduce the risk of non-compliance, contact me or a Champion team member at 0161 703 2549 or email info@championcontractors.co.uk. #tacklingnoncompliance #taxavoidanceschemes #umbrellapayroll #umbrellpaye
