What you must do as a Construction Industry Scheme (CIS) contractor

Who is covered by CIS

The Construction Industry Scheme (CIS) covers most construction work to buildings, including site preparation, decorating and refurbishment.

Mainstream contractors

If your business is construction and you pay subcontractors for construction work, you’re a ‘mainstream’ contractor. This applies if you’re a:

  • builder
  • labour agency
  • gangmaster (or gang leader)
  • property developer

Construction work not covered by CIS

There are also certain jobs that are exempt from the scheme, including:

  • architecture and surveying
  • scaffolding hire (with no labour)
  • carpet fitting
  • delivering materials
  • work on construction sites that is clearly not construction, eg running a canteen or site facilities

How to register

To register for the Construction Industry Scheme (CIS) you’ll need:

  • your legal business name – you can also give a trading name if it’s different to your business name
  • your National Insurance Number
  • the unique taxpayer reference number (UTR) for your business
  • your VAT registration number (if you’re VAT registered)

If you’re a subcontractor and a contractor (you pay subcontractors to do construction work), you’ll need to register for CIS as both.
