RCT not paid

Silverbear

Over a period of 14 mths I was a sub contractor for a company, each week I gave in an invoice including 20% RCT and I was paid by cheque minus the RCT. When my accountant was doing my returns she noticed that a lot of the RCT wasn't paid to revenue on my behalf so I contacted the company their accountant looked into it and they admitted they slipped up. 5 weeks down the line the only thing I received was a contract notification on ROS from the months that were missed. My accountant said I should have received this money by now but to date the company are now ignoring my calls.
Any advice on what to do now?

Your first mistake was including RCT on your invoice. It's the Principals responsibility to deal with RCT.

It would appear that they have not put up the payment notifications. So have to do post payment notifications now.

I'd imagine they will get around to it.

From experience, once Revenue knows about a RCT discrepancy they will be to the company to get it paid over fairly lively. we missed a payment early in 2015, the RCT return just never got completed somehow. once Revenue noticed, we were given only days to get it paid over. they begrudgingly granted an extra 2 days for us to investigate it (wanted to be sure the mistake was ours). but basically the settlement had to be made lively enough. If you don't hear more soon, I'd be on to Revenue about it.

I think that the issue here is the the Principal paid the Subbie less 20% but for some reason did not put up the payment notification.

So Revenue don't know about the RCT!
