    If you wish to contract through a CIS intermediary, under the Conduct of Employment Agencies and Employment Businesses Regulations 2003, we are required to agree a Contract for Services when you register with us. The enclosed contract for PAYE Workers shall apply for the period in which we provide work-finding services to you but shall not apply to any Assignment which you carry out through a CIS Intermediary.

If you are subject to SDC, we will ask you to select an alternative type of contracting.
