WHAT EXACTLY IS CIS?
CIS stands for Construction Industry Scheme and is a tax deduction scheme solely for people working within the construction industry.
Contractors are required to make CIS tax deductions from their subcontractors and pay this money to HMRC. When the subcontractor submits their CIS subcontractor tax return at the end of the tax year, most or all of their tax has already been paid. The standard CIS tax deduction is 20%.
