Independent Contractor & Tax Reporting Policy

You are an independent contractor on Qonstruct-Mart. The Independent Contractor declaration is a HARD GATE on activation for every earning role:

• Artisans (masons, electricians, plumbers, carpenters, painters, tilers, welders, etc.)
• Tradesmen / skilled trade specialists
• Professionals (engineers, architects, QS, designers, consultants)
• Vendors / suppliers
• Carriers
• Developers
• Financiers

No exceptions, no grace period. You also provide a TIN, which we validate against the JTB registry. Below GBP10,000 per payment WHT is not deducted (FIRS minimum). Otherwise WHT rates per FIRS schedule (2.5% to 10%) apply at source and remit to FIRS by the 21st of the following month. Every deduction yields a downloadable certificate at /me/tax.

WHT applies to interest only - not principal - on financier repayments. VAT is your responsibility above the NGN25M turnover threshold. Tax-policy questions: tax@qonstruct-mart.com.
