Construction Industry Scheme (CIS)

If you work as a subcontractor in the construction industry, you’ll have CIS tax deducted from your payments — usually at 20% (or 30% if you’re not registered).

Registering for CIS with HMRC ensures you’re on the lower 20% deduction rate.

Keep accurate records of all payments and deductions — you’ll need these for your year‑end tax return.

Claim back overpaid tax — many subcontractors are due refunds after filing their Self Assessment tax return.

We can manage your CIS records, track deductions, and make sure your annual return is filed correctly — so you claim back every penny you’re owed.

Sub-Contractors

If you’re a contractor in the construction industry, you must register with the Construction Industry Scheme (CIS) as soon as you begin paying subcontractors.

Verify your subcontractors with HMRC to confirm their registration and correct deduction rate.

File monthly CIS returns — based on the tax month — and pay any withheld tax to HMRC by the 19th of the following month.

We handle all of this for you: from subcontractor verification to filing monthly returns and ensuring payments are made on time — keeping you fully compliant with CIS rules.
