Frequently Asked Question

The Construction Industry Scheme (CIS) is a UK tax deduction scheme operated by HMRC for certain payments made by contractors to subcontractors for construction work. Contractors must verify subcontractors, make the appropriate deductions and report them to HMRC.

Contractors who meet HMRC’s definition of a contractor must register for CIS before making relevant payments to subcontractors. Subcontractors can also register to receive the applicable registered subcontractor deduction treatment.

The standard CIS deduction rates are generally 20% for registered subcontractors, 30% for unregistered subcontractors and 0% for subcontractors with Gross Payment Status. The applicable rate depends on HMRC verification and the subcontractor’s status.

A monthly CIS return is a submission contractors must make to HMRC detailing relevant payments made to subcontractors and the deductions applied during the tax month. Returns are generally due by the 19th of each month following the relevant tax month.

Gross Payment Status allows eligible subcontractors to receive payments without CIS deductions being taken by contractors. Applicants must meet HMRC’s qualifying conditions and continue to satisfy the relevant compliance requirements.
