Under the Construction Industry Scheme, contractors must deduct money from subcontractor payments and pass it to HMRC. The deduction is an advance payment of the subcontractor's tax and National Insurance.
20% — standard rate, most registered subcontractors.
30% — if you're not registered with HMRC for CIS.
0% — gross payment status (HMRC approval needed).
The CIS deduction only applies to labour. Materials are excluded. This is why it's important to split them clearly on your invoice — contractors can only deduct from the labour element.
If you're VAT registered, VAT is charged on the full invoice (labour + materials) before the CIS deduction. The CIS deduction is taken from the gross figure. VAT is paid separately to HMRC.
Your invoice must show: labour subtotal, materials subtotal, VAT (if applicable), gross total, CIS deduction amount, and the net amount payable. The template we send covers all of this.
By the 19th of each month, your contractor must send you a CIS deduction statement showing what was deducted and paid to HMRC. You use this to claim the deduction against your tax bill at Self Assessment.
