CIS for construction
Construction Industry Scheme registrations, monthly returns and deductions handled — for contractors and subcontractors — so payments are right and refunds come back quickly.
Is this for you?
You’ll benefit most if…
You pay subcontractors
You need to verify them and file monthly CIS returns.
You’re a subcontractor

Paid in full, without deductions.

What are the CIS deduction rates?
20% for registered subcontractors, 30% for those not registered, and nothing for subcontractors with gross payment status.
When are CIS returns due?
Monthly, by the 19th of each month, for the tax month ending on the 5th. Returns are due even when no payments were made unless you tell HMRC you are inactive.
Can I get CIS deductions back?
Yes. Limited companies offset them against their PAYE bill or claim a refund; sole traders set them against their Self Assessment tax.
