Contractor payment record redaction is the removal of personal identifiers from a subcontractor payment log reportable under the Income Tax (PAYE) Regs 2003 (Construction Industry Scheme). anonym.plus marks each Unique Taxpayer Reference and amount on your device, so the ledger stays clear while the payee is shielded.
When this applies
A payment log ties a subcontractor to a UTR, an invoice, and a total. You strip those entries before the ledger reaches an analyst or auditor.
How anonym.plus handles it
- Open the log in anonym.plus on your device.
- Local OCR reads a scanned invoice if present.
- The tool flags the UTR, name, and total.
- Confirm the flags and keep the invoice codes.
- Swap or black out the marked items.
- Save the clean ledger locally.
What you need to provide
- The log (CSV, XLSX, PDF, or scan).
- An operator (Mask suits the UTR).
- Optional batch for many subcontractor records.

Limitations & cautions
A sole-subcontractor amount can point to one trader even after the UTR goes. The tool flags named items, not every indirect clue. Review the totals before you share the ledger.
Frequently asked questions
Which rules govern these payments?
The Income Tax (PAYE) Regs 2003 cover Construction Industry Scheme deductions and reporting. anonym.plus removes the identifiers on that record.
Can I run many records at once?
Yes. Batch mode handles up to 20 files per local run, with OCR for scans.
Is the ledger uploaded?
No. The app is offline, so the payment data stays on your device.
