CIS Returns

Managing the Construction Industry Scheme (CIS) and meeting strict monthly reporting rules can be demanding for busy contractors and subcontractors. At RipSol Ltd, I provide reliable, compliant CIS return services to ensure your deductions are accurate and submitted on time.

Whether you are a main contractor managing deductions or a subcontractor seeking to offset tax liabilities and reclaim refunds, I deliver dependable support, clear advice, and peace of mind with HMRC.

 

 

What is the Construction Industry Scheme?

Under HMRC's Construction Industry Scheme (CIS), contractors must deduct money from a subcontractor’s payments and pass it to HMRC as advance payment towards the subcontractor’s tax and National Insurance.

Monthly CIS returns are legally required for contractors, and missed deadlines result in immediate penalties. Accurate CIS administration protects your cash flow, guarantees correct subcontractor verification, and keeps your construction business fully compliant.

 

 

 

Monthly CIS return filing & compliance

Contractors must submit their monthly CIS return to HMRC by the 19th of each month. I prepare and file these returns seamlessly, reconciling payment amounts and ensuring correct deductions are applied every time.

Subcontractor verification & statements

Before paying subcontractors, you must verify their tax status with HMRC to know whether to deduct 0%, 20%, or 30%. I handle the full verification process and issue formal monthly deduction statements directly to your workforce.
