The Construction Industry Scheme (CIS) is designed to help contractors and subcontractors comply with UK tax rules. At Coopers&Co, we make it easier for businesses to understand CIS regulations, avoid penalties, and focus on growing their business.
Handling tax deductions can often feel overwhelming. However, the CIS deducts taxes at the source, which helps contractors and subcontractors comply with HMRC requirements more efficiently. For example, contractors benefit from a clear process, while subcontractors can ensure smoother operations. As a result, this scheme can improve your cash flow and reduce administrative burdens.
Why the Construction Industry Scheme (CIS) Matters
For Contractors
Contractors need to verify subcontractors’ status, deduct the correct taxes, and submit monthly returns to HMRC under the Construction Industry Scheme (CIS). Therefore, staying compliant is essential to avoid fines and disruptions to your supply chain. Furthermore, proper compliance builds trust with clients and stakeholders.
For Subcontractors
Subcontractors who do not register for the scheme face higher tax deductions of 30% instead of 20%. Because this affects cash flow, it is important to register properly to ensure smoother operations and avoid overpaying taxes. In addition, registered subcontractors can save money and time while maintaining financial stability.
