This Order amends Parts 1, 2 and 3 of Schedule 11 to the Finance Act 2004 (c. 12) which set out the three tests or conditions which a sub-contractor in the construction industry must satisfy to be registered for payments to be made to it gross (i.e. payments from which there are no deductions on account of tax under the Construction Industry Scheme). Part 1 sets out the conditions which must be satisfied by an individual where the application is made by an individual to be registered for gross payment. Part 2 sets out the conditions which must be satisfied by a firm where there is an application by an individual or a company to be registered for gross payment as a partner in a firm. Part 3 sets out the conditions that must be satisfied by a company where there is an application for the company to be registered for gross payment.
Article 2 amends the compliance test in paragraphs 4, 8 and 12 of Schedule 11 to reduce the number of obligations that an applicant must have complied with in the qualifying period, which is defined in paragraph 14 as being the period of 12 months ending with the date of the application for gross payment status. As a consequence of this instrument an applicant will now only be required to have met its obligations to file monthly returns in respect of the construction industry scheme, its obligation to file a self-assessment return or a corporation tax return and to have paid to HMRC the amounts which the applicant was liable to have deducted under section 61 of the Finance Act 2004 and under the Income Tax (Pay As You Earn) Regulations 2003 (S.I. 2003/2682).
