April 2026: PAYE risk moves to agencies and MSPs
From April 2026, HMRC can recover unpaid PAYE from the lead agency or MSP when an umbrella in the supply chain fails. This is a fundamental shift in risk. Policies and assurances will not protect you, only clear, ongoing, and auditable evidence of due diligence will. If you can’t prove active oversight, you carry the liability.


How CompliancePro helps you stay compliant
CompliancePro is the platform behind your readiness strategy. It gives agencies and MSPs the visibility, control, and evidence HMRC expects when PAYE liability shifts upstream in April 2026. Instead of relying on policies or manual checks, CompliancePro centralises compliance data and turns due diligence into something you can evidence instantly.
With CompliancePro, you can:
- Centralise compliance documents in one audit-ready platform- Verify payslips and payments with full transparency
- Audit worker populations and identify risk flags early
- Monitor compliance continuously, not just at onboarding
- Produce instant evidence of due diligence when
SafeRec Certified
Giant Group is SafeRec certified, providing independent assurance that our umbrella payroll processes are operating correctly and transparently.
SafeRec certification means payslips are subject to real-time forensic audits and cross-checked against HMRC data, helping to identify and prevent non-compliant practices. This added layer of oversight supports stronger supply-chain assurance for agencies, MSPs and end clients. As regulation tightens and enforcement increases from April 2026, independent verification of payroll compliance is becoming increasingly important.
SafeRec certification reinforces Giant’s long-standing commitment to operating properly and protecting everyone in the supply chain.
