Services we can provide for contractors:

Contractors:  As a contractor, you have certain obligations under the CIS scheme, which includes the requirement to register with HMRC, verifying your subcontractors are CIS registered, paying subcontractors and deducting tax from them, and submitting monthly returns to HMRC.

Sub-contractors: As a sub-contractor, your main obligation is to register with HMRC. You must also keep HMRC informed of any changes to your business such as changes to your business address, business name, business partners and other relevant information.

Services we provide for subcontractors:

• Register you with HMRC
• Manage and organise your business records
• Prepare your end of year self-assessment tax return and reclaim your CIS deductions against your tax liability

Any contractor that you work for must determine whether or not you are to be treated as employed or self-employed for each and every contract. If you are an employee for the purpose of the contract, the contractor will need to operate a PAYE scheme whereby tax and National Insurance Contributions will be deducted from the payments made to you.

If you are self-employed, as a sub-contractor you need to be registered with HMRC under the CIS scheme. Once registered, contractors must make a deduction of tax at 20% (30% if you are unverified) from the labour element of your invoices and pay it over to HMRC.

Whether you are the contractor or the sub-contractor, we can help you keep your CIS affairs in order.
