Constructor Industry Scheme (CIS)
CIS – an HMRC designed system specifically for the construction industry.
The Construction Industry Scheme (CIS) is a UK tax scheme introduced by HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) to regulate payments made by contractors to subcontractors in the construction sector.
Under CIS, contractors must deduct money from a subcontractor’s payments and pass it to HMRC as advance payments toward the subcontractor’s tax and National Insurance contributions.
The scheme applies to most construction work, including site preparation, alterations, dismantling, building, and repairs.
It helps reduce tax evasion in the industry and ensures subcontractors remain compliant with their tax obligations.
