The Perfect Solution For Individual Working In The Construction Industry

The Construction Industry Scheme (CIS) refers to a tax regime set out by HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) to cater for self-employed contract workers in the construction industry. As a result of the amendment made to section 44 of the Income Tax (Earnings & Pensions) Act (often labelled the agency legislation) there are now stricter rules surrounding the employment status of contractors, with the burden of proof over a lack of supervision, direction or control now resting with the agency.

What is The Construction Industry Scheme (CIS)?

The Construction Industry Scheme (CIS) is a tax regime that HMRC set up to cater for self-employment in the construction industry. Tax is deducted at either a higher (30%), net (20%) or gross level depending on the status of the subcontractor’s UTR number.

Register for CIS (Construction Industry Scheme) services

If you are going to begin trading as a sole trader, you will need to register as self-employed with HMRC, in order to receive your Unique Taxpayer Reference (UTR) number. You can do this online through the Gov.uk website, or by calling 0300 200 3500.

Once you have registered for self-employment and received your UTR number, you need to register this on the CIS scheme, by calling the CIS office on 0300 200 3210. If you do not register your UTR you will have tax deducted at the higher rate of 30% on all payments made to you.

To complete your registration with Flustra, we will also request your proof of eligibility to work in the UK as well as a signed contract. After this is completed, you will be ready to get paid.
