CITB levy

CITB levy

Didn't find your answer?

We are a fairly young company, working in within the construction industry. Recently we completed our first CITB return and sent it in

After some correspondence with us, the CITB decided that some of the professional services (that we excluded from the return) fell into their definition of 'labour-only payments'. This pushes up the CITB levy substantially

The specific professional services that we use are Protection Masters ie. trained Health & Safety experts who shut off the electricity on railway tracks in order to allow contractors to work safely on the railways. They supply their own equipment, undertake their own training and are just a service that we use to be able to work on the tracks. We can't see how this service differs from say an architect (one of the CITB quoted examples) in that we have to use them to provide our service, but they are not directly producing any part of the service itself. They are merely there for H&S reasons

Unfortunately, we can't seem to find any info on what does/ doesn't class as a 'professional service'

Has anyone out there had experience of this or can recommend where we might get some further advice/ guidance from please?

Thanks for your help
