Who is responsible for PAYE / Income Tax?

By joining the service all grafters self-certify as self-employed. This means the grafters are responsible for their own tax reporting and payments.

The exception is if you are a ‘Construction Industry Scheme’ (CIS) registered employer, then you will have to set the rate for the job and pay the grafter the Net amount. Then complete your CIS return and pay the tax as normal.
