How to register for CIS online
04/07/2022Indigo Group
All contractors must register with HMRC for the Construction Industry Scheme (CIS). Registering allows contractors to manage their tax and employment risk, and subcontractors the opportunity to make regular contributions towards their national insurance (NI) and tax.
Although it’s not compulsory for subcontractors to register for CIS, one of the benefits of signing up means tax and NI is deducted at a rate of 20% instead of the higher 30%.
Before registering online for CIS, you must first register as a contractor via the Government’s website.
As a contractor, you need to confirm each subcontractor’s employment status, and you will also need to verify each subcontractor with HMRC before you can start paying them. HMRC will then confirm if the subcontractor is registered with CIS and the rate of deduction you need to use.
Indigo is a CIS commercial contracting company and takes on the role of a commercial contractor, removing the link between a contractor and a subcontractor. We verify the subcontractor with HMRC and engage under professionally vetted and bespoke contracts.
We give you peace of mind that your contractors are protected from reclassification by HMRC, and carry the risk ensuring you would never have to go to court.
Just one payment to us and we take care of the rest, freeing up your time to concentrate on more important tasks.
