Graft for contractors
Tidy subbies are cheaper to run.
You verify, deduct, file and issue the statements. When a subbie's own records are a shoebox, the loose ends land back on your desk. Graft is an app your subbies pay for themselves that tidies the paperwork flowing both ways, and this pack hands you everything needed to pass it down the chain.
Their phone · your paperwork
Why bother
Untidy subbie paperwork is your admin too
A subbie on Graft photographs your deduction statements as they arrive, and a missing one gets flagged in the month it went missing. One specific request while it's easy to find, not "everything since April" the week their return is due.
Graft tracks what each contractor has deducted at 20%, 30% or gross, so your subbies see their own position instead of ringing you. Fewer queries about last April's deduction, fewer disputes over remittances that were right all along.
Most subbies hand over too much tax through the year and never see it building back. Graft shows the refund growing on their own phone, and the tip came from you. Worth real money to your gangs, free for you to give.
The clock
Quarterly tax is coming down your chain
Making Tax Digital replaces the single January return with quarterly updates, and it is already live for sole traders over £50k. The £30k tier joins in 2027 and £20k in 2028. Every self-employed subbie you use ends up in it. The ones with tidy records will barely notice; the ones without will be asking you for paperwork five times a year instead of one.
The contractor pack
Done for you: the pack does the explaining
Contractors are not salespeople and nothing here asks you to become one. Two documents: keep the first, hand out the second. The pack includes ready-made WhatsApp, email and noticeboard messages, so passing it on takes two minutes.

Why it's worth your two minutes, how to roll it out without selling, the copy-paste messages, and the straight answers, including why there is no commission.

Questions
Straight answers
What does it cost the contractor?
Nothing. The subbie pays £9.99 plus VAT a month after a free week, directly to Graft. There is no contractor tier, no invoice, no commitment. Graft pays no commission to anyone, so there is nothing to muddy the recommendation.
Do I get access to my subbies’ numbers?
No. Graft is the subbie’s private app. You never see their income, expenses or tax position, and they know it. What you get is tidier paperwork, not visibility.
Does it change how I run CIS?
Not at all. You verify, deduct, file and issue statements exactly as you do now. Graft sits entirely on the subbie’s side of the fence. It just means your statements get photographed, reconciled and asked about in the right month.
Do I have to support it?
No. Subbies deal with Graft directly and their accountant, if they have one, gets a free portal with the same numbers. Nothing routes through you.
