Could HMRC’s Crackdown Land Your Security Business in Trouble?

If you’re in the UK security sector, 3rd August 2025 isn’t just another deadline it’s the day HMRC enforcement could turn non-compliance into a legal nightmare for your business. Misclassification of subcontractors and incomplete PAYE compliance is more than an administrative headache; it can trigger significant financial penalties, ruin your business reputation, and even lead to criminal charges against directors. HMRC has explicitly stated their intention to enforce regulations more stringently than ever before.

 

How confident are you that every subcontractor you engage is fully compliant?

By proactively ensuring full compliance with HMRC’s stringent PAYE and NIC regulations, Arez.io is your frontline defence against financial penalties and reputational damage.

 

Recent UK Compliance Risks:

According to recent prosecution data from the Security Industry Authority (SIA), non-compliance is on the rise, resulting in substantial fines and reputational damage. Security firms found non-compliant are facing tougher scrutiny and harsher penalties.

 

Here’s how Arez.io keeps you protected:
