All contractors operating in the UK are required to register for the CIS and deduct from subcontractors’ pay as this counts as advance payment towards subcontractor’s tax and National Insurance Contributions.
Subcontractors need to complete self assessment tax returns to inform HMRC of earnings, expenditure, and the amount of CIS tax deducted by your contractor. Usually by the end of the tax year, you will be due a tax refund.
Contractors are required to inform HMRC of the CIS tax deductions they make by filing a CIS tax return by the 19th of every month.
It is important to note that accuracy on these returns is crucial, as mistakes can result in penalties of up to £3000. It is also vital to file tax returns on time as even a one-day will hand you a £100 fine. As your representatives, we will ensure that you are not liable to any penalties as such.
