CIS

Under CIS, a contractor must deduct 20% from your payments and pass it to HM Revenue and Customs. These deductions count as advance payments towards your tax and National Insurance bill. If you do not register for the scheme, contractors must deduct 30% from your payments instead.

For the purpose of CIS, construction work includes:
• preparing the site, eg providing access works
• building work
• demolition and dismantling
• repairs and decorating
• installing systems for heating, lighting, power, water and ventilation
• cleaning the inside of buildings after construction work

To register as a contractor (subcontractor) you need a National Insurance Number and UTR. If you do not have UTR yet, you must first register as a Self Employed with the subcontractor option.

VAT

If the company’s turnover in the UK over the past 12 months has exceeded £ 85,000, you must register as a VAT payer. There is of course the possibility of voluntary registration even if the turnover of the company does not exceed the threshold.
To register as a VAT payer, you must complete the application and send it to HMRC. As a rule, the registration lasts up to two weeks, after that time you will receive the Registration Certificate with the VAT number.
