An intermediary must operate Pay As You Earn (PAYE) on the worker’s payments if certain conditions are met. This is part of the intermediaries reporting requirements.
Where the conditions do not apply, the intermediary may ask you to provide evidence to prove this was correct. You should only supply evidence that you consider is genuine and accurately reflects the worker’s engagement with you.
If you give an intermediary incorrect information, HMRC can treat you as the employer of the worker for Income Tax and National Insurance purposes.
