Find out how subcontractors who operate under the Construction Industry Scheme can nominate someone else to receive payments.
Who can get paid on my behalf
If you鈥檙e a subcontractor operating under Construction Industry Scheme you can choose someone to get payments for you, for example:
- a workmate
- relative
- friend
- someone you owe money to
This person is known as your 鈥榥ominee鈥�. To arrange payments to them you should speak to your contractor.
Verify and pay your nominee
If you鈥檙e registered to get payments without deductions - known as gross pay - the contractor will pay your nominee the same way, providing:
- they鈥檝e been able to verify you and your nominee
