Construction Industry Scheme (CIS)

The Construction Industry Scheme (CIS) is a vital aspect of the UK construction industry, aimed at regulating payments made to subcontractors. Compliance with CIS regulations is crucial for contractors to avoid penalties and ensure smooth operations. At our firm, we offer comprehensive CIS services tailored specifically for contractors, providing expert guidance and support to navigate the complexities of the scheme.

What is the Construction Industry Scheme (CIS)?

The Construction Industry Scheme (CIS) is a tax deduction scheme implemented by HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) within the construction industry. It requires contractors to deduct money from subcontractors' payments for the HMRC, which counts as advance payments towards the subcontractor's tax and National Insurance contributions.
