What is CIS for contractors and sub-contractors?

The Construction Industry Scheme (CIS) is a kind of tax system which contractors in the construction industry use to report the pay details of any sub-contractors that they use. When a contractor uses a sub-contractor (rather than an employee), they deduct CIS tax each time they pay them, a bit like when an employer deducts tax from employees’ wages.

The contractor reports the details of what a sub-contractor was paid, and how much CIS tax they have deducted, using a CIS return. The contractor is also responsible for sending the CIS deduction to HMRC each month.
