Wood Group Engineering (North Sea) Ltd v The Commissioners For HMRC

WGENS was properly treated as the host employer under the Host Employer Provision because WGOS employees’ personal service was made available to and rendered for the purposes of WGENS’ business. The arrangements were designed to avoid NICs liability, but the statutory conditions for the HEP were met. The provision does not require exclusivity or a secondment, and WGENS exercised sufficient control and direction over the employees. The appeal is dismissed.
