Contractor Monthly Returns (CIS)

The way that contractors make payments to subcontractors in the construction industry is a little different to how other businesses and individuals may be paid. The Construction Industry Scheme, or CIS, exists to ensure that subcontractors receive payments efficiently in a certain manner, meaning that it of course falls upon the paying contractors to ensure that their rules are followed. For example, if you wish for contractors to make gross payments, prior registration with HMRC is advised – alternatively, you can pay subcontractors through deductions for the construction work they do.
