1. What do I do if I change company/agency
We
have an excellent reputation with the majority
of UK and international companies and agencies.
Just contact us with their details on the day
that you are offered a contract or start work
and we will speak to them on your behalf letting
them know you are paid through us.
2.
VAT - I am Vat registered what do I do?
When
you register send a copy of your VAT certificate.
You are then required to send an invoice to us
weekly so that we are able to process your VAT
payments with the relevant week's sub-contractor
payments.
One total payment will be received in your bank
account. Please note that we must receive the
invoice by Tuesday at the latest to ensure it
is processed on time.
3.
Am I entitled to holiday pay?
As
a CIS sub-contractor you are most likely not going
to be classed as an employee and therefore not
entitled to holiday pay.
4.
Do I need to send Exchequer Solutions invoices?
No,
you will be sent a payment advice which will give
you a breakdown of all payments processed.
5.
How do I claim my expenses?
As
a CIS subcontractor you are required to complete
an end of year tax return - CIS36.
With this you will submit any expenses incurred
throughout the year, so you will need to keep
any relevant receipts.
6.
Am I covered by insurance?
Yes,
as your contractor it is our responsibility to
ensure you have the required amount of public
liability insurance.
If you hold your own policy please ensure it covers
you for an indemnity of £2,000,000 and then
forward a copy of the valid certificate with your
registration form.
If you do not have your own policy we will automatically
cover you with ours for the small fee of £3
per week.
7.
What happens with my CIS vouchers?
We
will issue your relevant CIS vouchers after the
5th day of each month. We will endeavour to include
them in the 1st sub-contractor advice issued after
this date.
8.
Is my tax deducted from my sub-contractor payment?
Yes,
if you hold a CIS 4 card 18% tax is deducted from
any payment made to you. We will submit this payment
to the Inland Revenue on your behalf and issue
a CIS 25 as proof.
9.
How much does sub-contracting with Exchequer Solutions
cost?
We
offer our service for the exceptional flat fees
of; £19 per week for pay rates of above
£6.50 and £15 per week for pay rates
of £6.50 and below.
Your public liability insurance fee is £3.
The fees are deducted from your gross payment
so the money you receive in your nominated bank
account is a net payment and is yours to spend.
10.
Do I have to have a bank account?
No,
you can have the money paid however you wish.
If you do not have an account in your name then
you just need to complete the details of the account
you wish to use on your registration form, as
long as you have signed the form we will be able
to process your money into that account.
Alternatively we can pay you by cheque. It is
always easier if you have your own account as
you will receive the payment immediately on Friday.
11.
When do I receive payment?
Once
we have received cleared funds from the company
you are contracting to, we are able to process
your payment.
Weekly payments are made into your nominated bank
account on Friday.
12.
What is a Chaps payment?
This
is a same day transfer, providing we receive confirmation
of the value of your sub-contract work from the
company we can process your payment on the same
day and it will be in your account by close of
business (you will need to be aware that in some
cases it may not show on your cash machine until
your individual bank update your details).
We offer this additional service for a small administration
fee of £10 per payment. If you wish to take
advantage of this service you need to inform us
before 11am on Wednesday.
13.
I have a CIS6 card, can I still register with Exchequer
Solutions?
Yes
of course. We will process your payments gross
of tax as per the Inland Revenue CIS6 procedures.
The only deductions made will be the administration
fee and public liability insurance.
You must send us the top and third copies of a
CIS24 voucher within 14 days of the end of the
tax month totalling all payments made within that
month.
