Construction Industry Scheme Solution for Contractors

What the Construction Industry Scheme is, why you need it and how we can help.

Construction Industry Scheme for Contractors

Our Construction Industry Scheme Solution

The pressures of subcontracting and paying self-employed workers can build up, especially after HMRC introduced the Onshore Intermediaries - False Self Employment legislation.

What with these legislation changes, there is an ever-increasing risk to construction companies who continue to directly pay their subcontractors, not to mention the additional administrative burden on their business. That's where we come in to help. 

We offer services to contractors and contracting companies in which we can:

  • Verify your subcontractors with HMRC.
  • Guarantee that subcontractors retain their self-employed status and defend any status challenges from HMRC.
  • Manage subcontractors through our CIS pay solution.
  • Manage employees through our PAYE solutions.
  • Run regular audit checks to ensure new rules are being adhered to.
  • Register subcontractors onto our online subcontractor portal so they have 24/7 access to their documents and payslips.
  • Calculate subcontractor tax for you so you know how much to deduct.
  • Cover National Insurance exposure should HMRC successfully demonstrate an employed relationship.
  • Run a Free Workforce Review to ensure your workforce are contractually sound.
  • Clients can log in to our client portal to view invoices. Please note this is separate to the subcontractor portal; this can be found on our Subcontractors page.

What We Do

Verify Your Subcontractors

We verify your subcontractors with HMRC and let you know what deductions they should receive.

Guarantee Self-Employment Status

Our CIS model guarantees, 100%, that subcontractors will retain their self-employed status and enables us to defend any status challenge from HMRC. 

CIS Pay Solutions

We will manage your self-employed subcontractors under our CIS pay solution and take the burden of payments off your hands. 

 

PAYE Solutions

If your workers are found to be employees of yours, we can manage and pay them under our PAYE solutions.

Regular Audit Checks

We run regular audit checks, advised by the teams of experts at Accountax and Francis Clark, to ensure new rules are being adhered to and that your contracts are sound.

Subcontractor Registration

We register your subcontractors onto our portal so they can view their documents, pay slips and details on a 24/7 basis. 

Calculate Subcontractor Tax

When we verify your subcontractors, we can let you know if they're registered with CIS and whether to deduct them at 20% or 30%. 

Cover National Insurance Exposure

In the unlikely event HMRC successfully demonstrate an employed relationship with your subcontractors, we'll cover any National Insurance exposure. 

Free Workforce Review

If you are imposing certain conditions on your workers, while the contract might refer to them as self-employed, if a similar case goes to court, the court could find them to be employees of yours despite the terms of your contract.

We are offering a free workforce review to ensure you come under no such scrutiny, should you ever find yourself in a similar situation. This is simply a check that you are contractually sound and that there is no risk of your subcontracted workers being reclassified as employees.

If you are contractually sound then you have nothing to worry about! We'll let you know your current practises expose your business to no risk. However, if we decide together that you might be at risk of reclassification and costly court fees, then we can offer advice on how to move forward and protect yourself and your subbies.

Don't leave it to chance! Request your free workforce review now to make sure you are contractually sound.
