About CIS (Construction Industry Scheme)

The Construction Industry Scheme (CIS) is a levy to boost revenue from the construction industry. Contractors must withhold money from subbies payments and remit it to HMRC as tax.

The point of view of limited companies is slightly more complicated than sole traders. The first thing you need to do as a limited company is a register for CIS.

If you’re not registered, the tax authorities of the UK will deduct it at 30%. If you are registered as a CIS limited company, they will deduct it at 20%.

You’re going to need your corporation tax to UTR, you need a few of the details you get to this with HMRC, and they’ll get registered, and then you can give the details on to your contractor.

If you need help with that part of the process, please reach out to Pearson McKinsey. 

Reclaim CIS For Limited Company

Suppose you have a serious amount deducted from you. The first way you can make that claim back is against payroll.

So if you run a payroll and if you’re deducting PAYE(Pay as you earn) from employees and less insurance, then HMRC want you to offset the amount of CIS that you’re having deducted against the PAYE and national insurance that you’re paying out and this might work fine for you.

The vast majority of limited companies are relatively small. They’ve got owner directors, and the amount going through payroll is usually only up to their allowance or up to the nice insurance. They’re not paying PAYE, so it’s useless. Still, that’s the first port of call.

The second is to offset any CIS you’ve had deducted against your corporation tax bill.

Limited liability

You have to submit your corporation tax return, and then you have to write a letter to HMRC explaining the CIS you’ve had deducted from me this year. Would you mind offsetting it against a corporation tax?
