Construction Industry Scheme (CIS)

CIS Support for Construction Industry

CIS paperwork can be tricky, but it doesn’t have to slow you down.

Working under the Construction Industry Scheme means more than completing construction work. Contractors and subcontractors must deal with deductions, payment records, and filing obligations while keeping projects on schedule. Missing a deadline or submitting incorrect information can lead to penalties and cash flow issues.

Whether you’re registering for CIS, submitting a CIS return, or checking your deductions, having the right support makes the process much easier. Our experienced CIS accountants help you stay compliant while keeping your records organised throughout the year.

Focus on your projects while we maintain your CIS compliance.

Contractor or Subcontractor? Know Your Role

Understanding your responsibilities helps you avoid costly mistakes.

Your CIS duties depend on whether you operate as a contractor, a subcontractor, or both. Contractors must verify subcontractors before making payments and apply the correct deduction rates. Subcontractors need to register correctly so the right deductions are applied from the start.

Your responsibilities may include:

Registering under the Construction Industry Scheme
Verifying subcontractors before payment
Applying the correct CIS deduction rate
Maintaining contractor and subcontractor records
Managing Gross Payment Status applications

Having a clear understanding today makes it easier to avoid compliance issues down the road.

Don’t Let CIS Deductions Affect Cash Flow

Every deduction should be properly accounted for.

Money deducted under CIS tax is paid to HMRC on your behalf, but that doesn’t always mean it’s the final amount you owe. Understanding your deductions helps you see how they affect your overall tax position and whether you’re due a repayment.

We can help you with:

Reviewing CIS tax deductions
Checking deduction statements
Preparing Self Assessment figures
Identifying potential tax repayments
Keeping CIS records organised

Know exactly where your money is going.

Frequently Asked Question

Does a limited company need to be CIS registered?
A limited company doesn't automatically need to register for CIS. Registration is usually required if the company operates as a contractor or subcontractor within the Construction Industry Scheme. Your business activities will determine whether CIS registration is necessary.
Who is exempt from CIS scheme?
Not every business carrying out construction-related work falls within the Construction Industry Scheme. Whether you're exempt depends on the type of work you undertake and your role as a contractor or subcontractor. If you're unsure, it's important to check your obligations before work begins.
How to get a CIS number?
You can get a CIS number by registering for the Construction Industry Scheme with HMRC. Once your registration has been processed, HMRC will issue the reference numbers you'll need for CIS compliance, contractor verification, and monthly reporting.
How do I check my CIS status?
You can check your CIS status through your HMRC online account or by contacting HMRC directly. Contractors can also verify a subcontractor's CIS status before making payments to ensure the correct deduction rate is applied.
What is CIS deductions?
CIS deductions are amounts that contractors deduct from a subcontractor's payments before paying them. The deductions are sent to HMRC and count towards the subcontractor's tax and National Insurance liabilities. The amount deducted depends on the subcontractor's CIS registration status.
