Construction Industry Scheme Accountants Clydebank
In accounting, CIS refers to this tax deduction system, which is different from PAYE (Pay As You Earn) used for employees. Subcontractors under CIS are treated as self-employed, meaning they handle their own tax returns, while contractors are responsible for deducting and forwarding tax payments. This system helps subcontractors avoid large tax bills at the end of the year, as deductions count toward their tax obligations in advance.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much tax is deducted under CIS?
20% for registerd subcontractors
30% for unregistered subcontractors
0% (Gross Payment Status) if HMRC allows you to receive full payments without deductions (you’ll need to apply and meet certain criteria for this)
Is it better to be CIS or PAYE?
It depends on your work situation. PAYE (Pay As You Earn) is the standard payroll system where tax and National Insurance are deducted before you receive your wages, ideal for employees. CIS, on the other hand, is for self-employed subcontractors in construction who get paid after a tax deduction of 20% or 30%. Being on CIS gives you more independence, but you also need to manage your own tax returns. If you prefer stability and benefits like sick pay and holiday pay, PAYE might be better for you.
Are CIS and UTR the same?
No, they’re different. Your UTR (Unique Taxpayer Reference) is a 10-digit number given to you when you register for self-assessment with HMRC it’s used for tax identification. CIS is a scheme, and while you need a UTR to register for CIS, the two are not the same thing.
Will I get a tax rebate if I am CIS?
Whilst it is not automatic that you will receive a tax rebate for being a sub-contractor on the CIS scheme as a sole trader you are paying 20% from your overall earnings and can claim expenses from your overall income that may see you have overpaid your tax by the year end on the 5th April. We can help sort this for you and claim back any over paid tax.
