Construction Industry Scheme (CIS)


The Construction Industry Scheme includes specific rules for contractors and subcontractors and failing to comply can lead to penalties and delays. Our CIS accounting services help you stay compliant by managing registration verification and monthly returns.

CIS rules apply more widely than many expect and it can be difficult to understand whether the scheme applies to your business.

Contractors must verify subcontractors keep accurate records and submit monthly CIS returns. Subcontractors must ensure deductions are correct and payments recorded. Mistakes or late submissions often lead to avoidable penalties. We make the process clear and ensure everything is completed accurately and on time.

We support clients with CIS Accounting services through both KBS Oakes Partnership in Whaley Bridge, The Curtis Partnership in Cheadle or remotely across the UK.

Our support ensures you meet the requirements of the scheme and understand what applies to your situation.

Whether you are a contractor subcontractor or both we help you register, liaise with HMRC and manage your monthly responsibilities. With professional guidance the process becomes more manageable and you avoid uncertainty around compliance.

How We Help

We begin by confirming whether CIS applies to your business and whether you need to register as a contractor subcontractor or both.

Once this is clear we manage the registration process and ensure you understand the responsibilities involved. For contractors this includes verifying subcontractors, calculating deductions, recording payments and submitting monthly returns. 

We manage these tasks for you and ensure you have the correct information for payroll and accounting records.

We can also prepare CIS vouchers which subcontractors require for their own records. For subcontractors we help ensure deductions are accurate and recorded correctly. If you are due refunds or need help with related tax requirements we support you through the process.

We aim to make CIS straightforward, consistent and manageable.

Our ongoing service includes communication, reminders and support so you never need to worry about missed submissions or uncertainty around compliance.
