  • (b) the performance of those services by the worker is (within the meaning of the regulations) referable to arrangements involving a third person (and not referable to any contract between the client and the worker), and
  • (c) the circumstances are such that, were the services to be performed by the worker under a contract between him and the client, he would be regarded for the purposes of the applicable provisions of this Act as employed in employed earner’s employment by the client,

relevant payments or benefits are, to the specified extent, to be treated for those purposes as earnings paid to the worker in respect of an employed earner’s employment of his.

  • (2) For the purposes of this section—
  • (a) “the intermediary” means—
  • (i) where the third person mentioned in subsection (1)(b) above has such a contractual or other relationship with the worker as may be specified, that third person, or

  • (i) a person with whom the worker holds any office or employment, or
  • (ii) a body corporate, unincorporated body or partnership of which the worker is a member;

  • (2A) Regulations may also make provision for securing that where the services of an individual (“the worker”) are provided (directly or indirectly) by a managed service company (“the MSC”) relevant payments or benefits are, to the specified extent, to be treated for the purposes of the applicable provisions of this Act as earnings paid to the worker in respect of an employed earner’s employment of his.

  • (a) for the worker to be treated for the purposes of the applicable provisions of this Act, in relation to the specified amount of relevant payments or benefits (the worker’s “attributable earnings”), as employed in employed earner’s employment by the intermediary or the MSC (as the case requires);
  • (b) for the intermediary or MSC (whether or not fulfilling the conditions prescribed under section 1(6)(a) above for secondary contributors) to be treated for those purposes as the secondary contributor in respect of the worker’s attributable earnings;
  • (c) for determining—
  • (i) any deductions to be made, and
  • (ii) in other respects the manner and basis in and on which the amount of the worker’s attributable earnings for any specified period is to be calculated or estimated,

in connection with relevant payments or benefits;

  • (e) for determining the date by which contributions payable in respect of the worker’s attributable earnings are to be paid and accounted for;
  • (f) for apportioning payments or benefits of any specified description, in such manner or on such basis as may be specified, for the purpose of determining the part of any such payment or benefit which is to be treated as a relevant payment or benefit for the purposes of the regulations;

  • (i) connected persons (within the meaning of section 993 of the Income Tax Act 2007), or
  • (ii) persons of any other specified description,

are treated as a single person for any purposes of the regulations;

  • (j) (without prejudice to paragraph (i) above) for securing that a contract made with a person other than the client is to be treated for any such purposes as made with the client;
  • (k) for excluding or modifying the application of the regulations in relation to such cases, or payments or benefits of such description, as may be specified.
