CIS Payroll

CIS payroll & construction industry scheme services

Construction Industry Scheme administration helps contractors verify subcontractors, apply HMRC-confirmed deductions and prepare monthly returns and statements. Streamlining Payroll keeps qualifying subcontractor payments separate from employee PAYE, including where a construction business uses both. Your written quote agrees the records, approval timetable and scope before processing; employment status still needs proper consideration.
