I think Gangy is involved in building contracts (name’s a clue) and his/her grievance is not liking the additional work involved in contractors deducting tax from payments to subcontractors and passing it to HMRC. It’s one way of ensuring that subcontractors, who often work for cash, pay their dues. Gangy might like to consult a no win, no fee lawyer but needs to be prepared to be laughed out of the office. It’s a total non-starter. We need everyone to pay their tax. If that imposes an additional overhead on Gangy, as it does on all contractors who sub work out, then prices have to rise accordingly.
