BANK ON OUR SPECIALISM

CIS accounting services in Leeds and all across the UK

CIS applies to payments made for construction work. As a contractor, you must make tax deductions from your payments to your subcontractors and then pass them on to the HMRC. Subcontractors must be registered with the taxman and keep accurate records of their CIS tax returns.

CIS is indeed a big step forward in streamlining the UK economy, but its tax return filing process can be complicated and frustrating.

Our CIS accountants are proud to support businesses and workers who engage in construction operations and give them appropriate advice that’s timely and compliant.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Got a question about our CIS accountants?

We list the common queries we get asked from time to time.

CIS applies to you if you are:

  • A contractor in the construction industry
  • A subcontractor in the construction industry (i.e., you work with a contractor on a self-employed basis or as a limited company)
  • Both a contractor and a subcontractor in the construction industry (which could happen if your company works for a bigger contractor and then subcontracts to others)
  • A business that spends over £1 million annually on construction work

Here’s how CIS works for you if you are a contractor:

  • First, you need to register with HMRC.
  • Then, check your subcontractor’s employment status and whether they are self-employed or employed with you. In the latter case, you must pay them via PAYE like your regular employees.
  • If they are self-employed, check whether they are registered with HMRC as a subcontractor. If their registration is confirmed, HMRC will tell you whether to pay them the gross amount or make a standard deduction of 20%.
  • If HMRC can’t confirm their registration, you must make a 30% deduction.

If this sounds overly complicated to you, fret not. Let our CIS accountants maintain subcontractor records, verify subcontractors online with HMRC, and prepare and submit your monthly CIS returns.
