CIS Returns
Expert Compliance for the Construction Industry
In the UK construction sector, compliance with the Construction Industry Scheme (CIS) is essential for contractors and subcontractors. CIS returns ensure that the correct tax deductions are made and reported to HMRC on time. At The Expert Firm, we provide professional CIS return services to help you stay compliant, avoid penalties, and streamline your tax obligations.
What is CIS Returns?
The Construction Industry Scheme (CIS) is a tax scheme introduced by HMRC to regulate payments from contractors to subcontractors. Under CIS, contractors must deduct a percentage from subcontractors’ payments and submit this amount to HMRC. CIS returns involve filing a monthly report detailing these deductions, ensuring full compliance with tax regulations.
