Construction Industry Scheme

Construction Industry Scheme

The Construction Industry Scheme affects contractors who pay subcontractors. We register you with HMRC, verify subcontractor CIS status, calculate the correct deduction percentage on payments you make, and arrange your monthly CIS returns and payments to HMRC. We track your own CIS status as a subcontractor so you understand your position, and we advise when deductions apply to your invoices. We handle all the paperwork and deadlines so compliance is seamless and you retain cash correctly.

Businesses choose us because CIS penalties are severe and cash flow matters in construction. We keep you registered, we process deductions accurately, and we file returns on time. We explain your CIS status clearly, we help you recover over-deducted tax, and we answer questions about who must be verified or what percentage applies. You get peace of mind and smoother cash management throughout your project cycle.

Common questions

What percentage must I deduct from subcontractors?

Usually 20%, but it can be 30% if the subcontractor is not verified. We check status before payment so you apply the correct rate.

Can I recover over-deducted CIS tax?

Yes. If you've been deducted too much, you can recover it through your tax return or CIS adjustment. We identify these and help you claim.

The free initial consultation gave me the chance to see exactly what Oakridge could do before committing, and I'm so glad I took it. They took over our payroll and bookkeeping within a week and have been faultless ever since. Professional, responsive, and genuinely great value.
