How it works

A straightforward process.

01
Step 1

Onboarding

We register your PAYE and CIS schemes if you don't have them, and verify every existing subcontractor with HMRC.

02
Step 2

You send hours

Each pay run, you send us hours and any new subbies via a simple form or email. That's the extent of your involvement.

03
Step 3

We process & file

Payslips issued, RTI filed with HMRC, CIS return submitted monthly, and you get a clear summary of what to pay whom.

04
Step 4

Reports & compliance

We keep you compliant with employment status rules, flagging any subbie who really should be on PAYE before HMRC does.

Common questions

Frequently asked.

What is CIS and does it apply to me?

The Construction Industry Scheme requires contractors to deduct tax at source (usually 20%) from payments to subcontractors and pay it to HMRC. If you pay other trades, you're a contractor and CIS applies. We handle every part of it.

How much CIS should be deducted?

20% for verified subcontractors, 30% for unverified, and 0% for those with gross payment status. We verify every subbie with HMRC before their first payment so nothing is over-deducted.

Can subcontractors reclaim overpaid CIS?

Yes, and this is where a lot of subbies lose out. Through your self-assessment (for sole traders) or CT return offset (for limited company subbies), we reclaim what's owed. We've recovered five-figure sums for individual clients.

Do you handle the domestic reverse charge VAT?

Yes. If you're VAT-registered and CIS applies, reverse charge rules apply too. We set your invoicing and software up correctly from day one.
