Agent asking for NI number before next payment

[Unix]

Got this email, should I tell them to shove it?

Dear Unix

You may be aware from recent news alerts and/or information from REC and HMRC that new reporting requirements are being introduced from 6th April 2015, with fines attached for non-compliance. Please find further guidance on this as provided by REC and HMRC.

The impact of this for you is that we require all active contractors to provide us with their National Insurance number before we can make payment on or after the 6 April 2015.

If you are not required to hold a National Insurance number because you fall within the HMRC list of exemptions, we still require you to complete the form below.

Please provide the information on the following link:

Agency will obviously ensure this data is held securely and we thank you for your cooperation in this matter. If you have any concerns please talk to your regular Agency contact or the CMS helpdesk.

Kind regards
Agency Contractor Compliance.

They already have it anyway. And they can use other personal data instead if they don't (according to HMRC). But it is legit.

They don't need your UTR though. Mine asked for that.

Strange as you are company supplying services to them then this is a moot point...

are they asking their stationary supplier for their NI numbers before they can pay them??


Unless they pay you PAYE your NI number is not their concern.

This has been discussed to death in the Professional forums already. Yes, it is their concern.

You need to read up on these regulations then - As of April 6th it is their concern as HMRC have made it their concern...

Oh right what about right of substitution?

Does your co have to supply the agency with the NI number of that employee of your company?
