Construction Industry Scheme (CIS)

The Construction Industry Scheme (CIS) is a UK government initiative designed to ensure tax compliance within the construction sector. It regulates how contractors deduct money from subcontractors’ payments, which is then forwarded to HMRC as an advance on the subcontractor’s tax and National Insurance contributions. For those working under CIS, ensuring compliance with HMRC guidelines is critical, and that’s where Bunobair can help.

Our CIS Service

The Construction Industry Scheme is essential for managing tax deductions within the construction sector. At Bunobair, we handle all aspects of CIS administration, from verifying subcontractor status to managing deductions and payments. Our goal is to simplify the process for contractors, agencies, and subcontractors alike while ensuring full compliance with HMRC guidelines.

When you register with Bunobair for CIS payments, we confirm your employment status with your agency or client to verify whether you are operating under Supervision, Direction, and Control (SDC). Additionally, we check your Unique Taxpayer Reference (UTR) number with HMRC and apply the appropriate tax deduction rate of 20% for registered subcontractors or 30% for unregistered ones.

Registration & Verification: We handle all compliance checks, including verifying your UTR with HMRC and confirming your SDC status.

Transparent Payments:We ensure that payments are processed efficiently, with clear documentation provided through detailed payslips.
