Frequently asked questions

The Construction Industry Scheme (CIS) is a UK tax system where contractors deduct money from payments to subcontractors for tax purposes, helping HMRC collect tax from the construction industry.

If a contractor doesn’t pay your CIS deductions, you remain responsible for reporting and paying the correct tax to HMRC. You may need to chase the contractor or seek professional advice.

Contractors and subcontractors working in the UK construction industry must register for the Construction Industry Scheme (CIS) if they carry out construction work covered by CIS rules.

Employees, suppliers of materials only, non-construction self-employed workers, and HMRC-approved subcontractors paid gross are exempt from the UK Construction Industry Scheme (CIS).

The standard CIS deduction rate in the UK is 20% for verified subcontractors; unregistered subcontractors face a higher 30% deduction rate under the scheme.

Check your CIS status by logging into your HMRC online account, contacting the CIS helpline, or reviewing your contractor’s payment and deduction statements.

You cannot get a CIS card. Instead, subcontractors register with HMRC for CIS, receive a unique verification number, and provide this to contractors.

CIS covers most construction work in the UK, including site preparation, building, repairs, decorating, demolition, and installing systems like heating or lighting

Yes, non-UK businesses carrying out construction work in the UK must register and comply with CIS rules.

Contractors must file monthly CIS returns to HMRC detailing payments and deductions made to subcontractors
