Pure Invoicing Limited – more details

The HMRC website states the scheme operates as follows:

  1. PIL invoiced the employment agency or end users for the work carried out by the scheme users.
  2. PIL deducted its fee from the gross amount.
  3. PIL then made one composite payment, of the taxed and untaxed amounts, to the scheme user.
  4. Part of the payment, equalling the NMW, operated under PAYE and was taxed under the PAYE reference 475/WB8816.
  5. The second part was the balance made under an ‘option grant agreement’ between PIL and the scheme users. This was not taxed.
