Checks the turnover test for CIS gross payment status (Finance Act 2004 Schedule 11, SI 2005/2045 reg 28): £30,000 net construction turnover for a sole trader; for a partnership or company, the lower of £30,000 for each partner or relevant person and £100,000. In a close company, shareholders count as well as directors. Returns the figure needed by each route, which one applies, and how far short. Covers the turnover test only, not the business test or the compliance test. The same as the GET, with the input as a JSON body.
