CIS is a tax deduction scheme affecting self-employed workers contracting in the construction sector. The aim of the scheme is to reduce levels of fraud and tax evasion in the industry, as well as to help subcontractors to spread their tax liabilities over the financial year.
Both contractors and subcontractors are affected by CIS, with each having different responsibilities. A contractor must register for the scheme. A subcontractor doesn’t have to register, however, in not doing so, deductions are still taken from their payments, but at the higher rate.
CIS does not apply to payments made to employees, since payments made to employees are covered by the Pay As You Earn (PAYE) system for deducting tax at source.
The CIS covers most construction work that involves a permanent or temporary building or structure, as well as civil engineering work, such as roads and bridges.
We will review all of your contracts for IR35 purposes and provide you with our professional opinion as to its status.
