What you need to do for CIS as a subcontractor?

  • You should register (https://www.gov.uk/what-you-must-do-as-a-cis-subcontractor/how-to-register) for CIS if you are self-employed, trade through a limited company or are a partner in a partnership and work for a contractor in the construction industry.
  • The contractor will then deduct tax from you at 20% (30% if you are not registered for the scheme) and pay these amounts to HMRC.
  • If you are self-employed the amounts deducted will be included in your self-assessment tax return and offset against the tax and national insurance you owe for the year.
  • If you are a limited company you will need to claim these amounts back through your company’s monthly payroll.
