Tudo sobre CIS Monthly Return (subcontractor deduction)
📋Apresentação+
Under CIS, contractors deduct tax at source from payments to subcontractors before passing on the net amount. Deductions apply only to the labour element — materials the subcontractor genuinely incurred are excluded. The deduction rate depends on HMRC's verification: 0% for subcontractors registered for gross payment, 20% for those registered net, and 30% for anyone HMRC cannot verify.
💡 Boas práticas
- Always verify a new subcontractor with HMRC before the first payment — skipping this defaults you to the 30% unverified rate.
- Keep materials invoices on file — HMRC can challenge a materials deduction that isn't evidenced.
- Deductions withheld are advance payments of the subcontractor's own tax and NIC, reclaimable via their Self Assessment or (for limited companies) against PAYE liabilities.
🔢 Exemplo concreto
£5,000 gross payment with £1,000 materials, subcontractor verified net-standard: £4,000 labour element, 20% deduction = £800, leaving £4,200 net payment.
