Who needs to provide the confirmation of being in the Database, the subcontractor or the contractor?
Either one. The contractor is required to withhold 5% of payments made to a subcontractor that is not on the Database. Subcontractors are encouraged to locate their information on the Database and provide it to the contractors paying them to make it easier for those contractors to know they are on the Database. A contractor who has not received this confirmation must verify that the subcontractor performing construction services is on the Database, which releases them from the responsibility of the 5% withholding on payments.
