Over the last 20+ years, we’ve been one of the largest providers of payment services to construction industry sub-contractors in the UK, and have built unrivalled experience and expertise in construction sector payments over many years. Trusted by some of the biggest names in the industry, when you partner with us, you will have peace of mind that we’re specialists in helping both recruitment businesses and sub-contractors navigate CIS compliantly. CIS Explained The Construction Industry Scheme was set up by HMRC to facilitate the collection of tax payments due from self-employed workers. At a time when it considered there was a lot of tax leakage in the construction sector, HMRC decided it could prevent tax losses by collecting tax at source from those contractors engaging sub-contractors. CIS is an appealing option to sub-contractors who consider themselves to be genuinely self-employed. As self-employed workers, CIS sub-contractors pay less National Insurance and can benefit from tax relief on genuine business expenses which are not available to employed workers. CIS workers have to be verified by HMRC by the business contracting them who will be advised to deduct either 0%, 20%, or 30% CIS tax as a payment on account of the worker’s self-employment income tax which is due at the end of the tax year. Maximising Growth For some agencies and hirers, CIS may be a new concept for which compliance responsibilities may seem complex. Don’t worry and don’t do nothing – having worked in this solution for over 20 years, it’s safe to say we understand CIS inside-out and we’re always available to advise and support you. • In these times of scarce resources, CIS can help you maximise your reach and increase contractor retention in an ever-growing industry. • Doing things right – we’ll only engage workers under CIS once we’re confident contractors and agencies have met their compliance obligations and the agency wish us to engage on this basis. • Ongoing compliance advice on status assessments and documentation processes. • Free CIS Health Checks to ensure your agency is working compliantly. • Expert training and support for your teams in all aspects of contractor management and legislation. • We’re FCSA-Accredited for complete peace of mind – one of our Senior Management Team wrote the FCSA trade body CIS code of compliance and advised FCSA in the construction sector for many years.
