ARE YOU FULLY PROTECTED FROM HMRC?
How The Guild can help
Established in 1997, we are able to guarantee the status of freelance operatives, thereby allowing you the freedom to operate safely with a self-employed workforce.
We take status compliance extremely seriously and we stand between clients and HMRC. The Guild has processed in excess of 500,000 freelance operatives over 23 years and in that time not a single freelancer’s employment tax status has been overturned. Our record speaks for itself because freelance status compliance is what we do.
So, in these particularly challenging times, take away one more headache and engage the services of industry experts – The Guild. Our in-house legal, tax and compliance teams can ensure that your CIS tax and employment status issues are dealt with in the most compliant way possible and help remove your commercial risks associated with engaging self-employed contractors.
