Construction Industry Scheme FAQ's

Whether you’re curious about billing, payment methods, tax-related issues, or any other financial matter, our FAQs are designed to provide clear, concise information to help you navigate our accounting practices with ease.
The CIS is a tax deduction scheme in the UK designed to regulate payments within the construction industry. It requires contractors to deduct a percentage from payments made to subcontractors and submit these deductions to HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC).
If you are a contractor or subcontractor in the construction industry in the UK, you may need to register for CIS. Contractors must register with HMRC, and subcontractors should also register to ensure they receive the correct deductions on payments made to them.
CIS deductions are withheld by contractors from payments to subcontractors. The deductions are calculated based on the subcontractor’s gross payment, which takes into account their tax status. These deductions are then paid to HMRC, and subcontractors can claim credit for the deductions made when filing their own tax returns.
CIS registration is essential for compliance, but it also brings benefits. Registered businesses gain credibility within the construction industry, access to government support, and reduced tax liability through accurate deductions. Compliance ensures that your business is seen as reliable and trustworthy by clients and partners.
Non-compliance with CIS can result in penalties. Contractors can face penalties for failing to register or for not deducting and paying the correct amounts. Subcontractors may encounter penalties if they don’t register or fail to report their income. Staying compliant with CIS regulations is crucial to avoid these penalties and maintain good standing in the construction industry.
