Contractors must register for the Construction Industry Scheme (CIS) with HMRC. Subcontractors are not required to register, but if they do not, tax will be deducted at a higher rate, typically 30%, instead of the standard 20% for registered subcontractors.
To register for the Construction Industry Scheme, visit the HMRC website and complete the registration process either online or via post. You will need to provide details about your business, including its structure, UTR (Unique Taxpayer Reference), and other relevant information.
Under CIS, contractors deduct money from payments made to subcontractors and send this directly to HMRC. The deduction is considered as advance payment towards the subcontractor’s tax and National Insurance.
To avoid penalties, ensure that your CIS return is submitted on time. If you receive a penalty, you can appeal it through your HMRC online account. It’s essential to keep records and show evidence of any reasonable causes for late submission. Contact a tax professional for expert support.
Yes, if you believe too much tax is deducted under CIS, subcontractors can claim a repayment from HMRC. You can apply for a refund through your self-assessment tax return or by contacting HMRC directly. Contact a professional for expert advise.
