Registering for CIS (Construction Industry Scheme)
Should you operate on a self-employed basis in the construction industry, you will likely need to register for the Construction Industry Scheme (CIS). Under this scheme, we will deduct 20% as a flat rate from your payments and pass this to HMRC. Should you fail to register, we may need to deduct this at a rate of 30%.
If you have not already done so, you will first need to register for self-assessment with HMRC and apply for a UTR number. Our article explains how you can do this.
You can register for CIS on the Government Gateway, using your Government Gateway ID and password that you used when you registered for self-assessment (or another government service).
