• Managing Payroll • Contractors • Mobile Workers • Craft Labour • Visiting Engineers • Avoid Costly Revenue Challenges • Understand Employer Obligations

Construction projects increasingly rely on a mix of direct employees, subcontractors, agency workers, visiting engineers and specialist craft labour, which in turn can create significant tax and payroll compliance challenges, particularly where workers move between sites and cross boarder projects. This one-day course will provide construction organisations and project teams with a clear understanding of the key Irish tax compliance obligations that apply in terms of payroll, RCT, employment status, international assignments and Revenue expectations in the Construction Sector. By attending this course, you will reduce the risk of costly Revenue audits, penalties and retrospective liabilities, improve workforce compliance, protect project margins and make more informed decisions when engaging labour on projects.
