CIS stands for the Construction Industry Scheme, a set of HMRC rules for paying subcontractors in the building trade. Contractors deduct tax at source and pass it to HMRC. Registering for CIS ensures you pay less tax (20% instead of 30%) and can claim back expenses. ## Is CIS different from other self-employed work? Yes. Unlike typical self-employed workers who get paid gross, CIS subcontractors have tax deducted by their contractor before payment. Being CIS registered reduces this deduction and allows you to claim refunds. ## How do I register for the CIS scheme? It’s simple — just fill out our online form and we’ll register you for both UTR and CIS within 24 hours. You don’t need to deal with HMRC directly — we handle it all. ## How do I apply for a CIS number online? If you’re not yet self-employed, we’ll register you for Self-Employment and CIS in one go. All you need is your National Insurance number and a job role within construction (e.g. plumber, electrician, labourer). ## Why do I need to register for CIS? If you’re working in construction, registration under CIS is essential. It ensures you’re only taxed at 20%, not the higher 30% default. It also makes you eligible for CIS tax refunds on your expenses and tools. ## Who is required to register for CIS? Most construction roles are covered by CIS, including: - Plumbers - Electricians - Groundworkers - Joiners - Painters & decorators - Labourers & subcontractors From demolition to finishing touches — if you work in construction, CIS likely applies. ## Who isn’t covered by CIS, even if they do construction work? If you provide construction services directly to a homeowner (not via a contractor), you’re typically not covered by CIS. In that case, clients pay you in full and you report income via Self Assessment. ## Is CIS registration the same as UTR registration? Not quite. You must register for both Self-Employment (to get a UTR) and CIS. However, with Tax2u, we do both registrations at once — just select your construction job role on our form and we’ll handle the rest. ## How long does it take to get my UTR or CIS number? With HMRC, it can take up to 6 weeks. With Tax2u, most clients receive their UTR and CIS confirmation within 10 working days via our FAST TRACK service. ## Why choose Tax2u Ltd to apply for UTR and CIS?
