"As you may be aware a new statutory obligation came into effect from the 6th April 2015. The Income
Tax Earnings & Pensions Act 2003 (IETPA) requires the reporting of any non-PAYE payments made by
an Intermediary in order for HMRC to detect false self-employment and abuse of offshore working by
temporary staff."
Which then goes on to ask Company Name, Worker assigned under contract etc.
Are the agencies acting correctly in demanding this information, surely since the contract is between the two companies, there is no justification in asking the name(s) of the worker(s) ...
Or is someone trying it on ...

.. this question was specifically asked and replied to in this document at section 2.24.
In a conversation this lunchtime with HMRC they seem to think that where a facilities management company is asking Big Alarms PLC to attend to a problem at one of their clients they not only need to report it but need to obtain the personal details of the operative Big Alarms PLC sends out of their 100s of employees. But by the same token a freelance washing machine repairer working for Homeserve and going to someone's house to fix their tumble drier isn't caught because there's no intermediary.
Can I retire please?
