Agencies who supply such temporary staff, known by HMRC as &#8216;gangmasters&#8217;, may also fail to pay the correct, if any, VAT, national insurance contributions and PAYE deductions.<\/p>\n<p>As a precaution, HMRC has said that businesses should avoid involvement in supply chains by remaining alert and consulting with agencies. Where possible, businesses should check that agencies have, or require, a Gangmaster Licensing Authority (GLA) licence, and that they are paying VAT and other taxes by checking for false invoices.<\/p>\n<p><em>We can advise on issues regarding contracting staff.
