CIS
The Construction Industry Scheme (CIS) is a tax law that HMRC set up to pay subcontractors in the construction industry.
Tax is deducted at either a higher (30%), net (20%) or gross level depending on the status of the subcontractor’s UTR number.
CIS tax deduction rates are as follows:
- ‘Net’ deduction (20%)
A flat rate of 20% is the standard deduction for subcontractors who have registered their UTR number under the CIS.
- Higher deduction (30%)
Deductions at the higher rate of 30% may be taken if the UTR number you’ve provided to the contractor is either incorrect or has not been registered. If you are having problems with your UTR number being verified by contractors, you should contact the CIS office for assistance.
- Gross payment (0%)
If you have been granted gross payment status by HMRC there will be no deductions made on your payment.
