Your common CIS questions, answered.
CIS (Construction Industry Scheme) is an HMRC scheme that applies to most contractors and subcontractors working in construction. If you pay subcontractors, you may need to register as a contractor and make CIS deductions on their behalf.
If you’re a contractor paying subcontractors for construction work, yes, you’ll need to register. We can handle the registration process and make sure everything’s set up correctly from day one.
Absolutely. We’ll prepare and file your monthly CIS returns with HMRC, and provide payment and deduction statements for your subcontractors, so you’re always compliant.
We can help you reclaim any CIS deductions through your year-end tax return or payroll setup. It’s often possible to offset these deductions against your tax bill. We’ll make sure you don’t miss out.
HMRC can issue penalties if CIS returns aren’t submitted on time. But don’t worry, if you’ve missed one, we’ll help you file it quickly and liaise with HMRC where needed to limit the impact.
Yes, and it’s often the smoothest way to run things. We can integrate your CIS with your payroll and bookkeeping so that everything’s joined up, accurate, and easy to manage.
