The CIS is an HMRC scheme that applies if you work for a contractor in the construction industry but not as an employee, so for example as a self-employed individual. The CIS rules mean that the contractor is usually obliged to withhold tax on its payments to you, at either 20% if you are ‘registered’ or 30% if you are not.
This is different from other self-employed individuals not within the construction industry, who normally receive their payments gross, which means no tax is deducted.
Not everyone who works in the construction industry is self-employed. If you work in the construction industry, you should consider your employment status in the same way as everyone else.
