Construction Industry Scheme (CIS)

Companies are included as building firms, government departments, and local authorities. Any business spending more than £1milliion a year on construction is classed as a contractor for CIS, whilst Subcontractors are those individuals or businesses that carry out work for contractors. Some of the businesses act as both contractors and Subcontractors.

The construction industry Scheme sets out special rules for Tax and National Insurance for those working in the Construction industry. All contractors in the construction industry who are self-employed, the owner of a limited company, and partners (In partnership) are required to register for Construction Industry Scheme (CIS) and file a CIS return annually.

UnderCIS, a contractor must deduct 20% from your payments and pass it to HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC). These deductions count as advance payments towards your tax and National Insurance bill. If you don’t register for the scheme, contractors deduct 30% from your payments instead.
