CIS Management & Compliance for Large Contractors
Whether you are paying subcontractors or getting paid, we handle the verification, deductions, and monthly returns to protect your Gross Payment Status.
The Deduction Impact
On a £1,000 labour invoice:
Paid in full. Ideal cashflow.
£200 withheld. We reclaim this against your other taxes.
Penalty rate. Avoid this with our verification service.
"Losing Gross Payment Status is the #1 killer of construction firms. One late return can trigger it."
Construction is High Risk
HMRC targets the construction sector. From employment status challenges to VAT Reverse Charge errors, the pitfalls are everywhere.
Gross Payment Status Loss
Late filings can cause you to lose your Gross Payment Status (GPS). This destroys cashflow instantly.
Deemed Employment
Treating a worker as a subcontractor when they are really an employee leads to massive PAYE bills.
Reverse Charge Errors
Paying VAT to subcontractors incorrectly? You cannot reclaim it.
Seamless CIS Management
Verification
Before you pay a new subcontractor, we verify them with HMRC using their UTR. We confirm if you must deduct 0%, 20%, or 30%.
Calculation
We calculate the deduction based on labour only (materials are exempt). We ensure the Reverse Charge VAT rules are applied correctly.
Statement Issue
We generate the legal "Payment and Deduction Statement" and email it to the subcontractor so they have proof of tax paid.
Monthly Return
We file the CIS300 monthly return to HMRC by the 19th. This tells HMRC exactly what you have deducted and owe.
Offset & Payment
If you are a Ltd company subcontractor, we offset CIS suffered against your PAYE liabilities to improve your cashflow.

Common Questions
