Does this sound familiar?

CIS shouldn’t feel like guessing

“Why am I still on 30%?” You registered. Nobody told you the contractor has to verify you again, with your name spelt exactly right.
“A contractor never sent my statements.” April is coming and you don't know what you can claim without them.
“I paid an agent and waited three months.” And a slice of your own money went on the fee.
“What can I actually claim?” The van, the tools, the boots, the food. Every site says something different.
“Making Tax Digital in April 2027?” You've heard the words. Nobody explained if it's you.

CIS is a list of jobs with dates. Nobody gave you the list. Here it is, in order.

Every CIS job, in order

One job per sheet, numbered steps, real 2026/27 numbers in pounds, and a green “Your move” box at the bottom so you act instead of just reading.

What makes it easy

Built to be understood the first time

Tax months and the 19th

Your year runs 6th to 5th. Every date on one strip: the 19th, 6 April, 31 January.

Green and red

On every sheet: green = you're fine, red = where subbies lose money or get fined, with the amount.

GOV.UK, screen by screen

Register, check your UTR, fill the CIS box and track your repayment. Simplified screens, example only.

Three real-life examples in pounds

Dan (labourer), Marius (plasterer) and Kelly (electrician): every pound worked out, marked as examples.

Who it’s for

This map is for you if you…

Are paid under CIS as a sole trader: on 20%, stuck on 30%, or new on site
Want to file your own return in April instead of paying an agent every year
Have missing statements, a contractor who won't answer, or years you never filed
Earn well and wonder about gross payment status
Heard about Making Tax Digital and want to know if April 2027 is you
Labourers & groundworkers
Brickies
Plasterers
Sparkies & plumbers
Roofers & scaffolders
Joiners

Paid through an agency, umbrella or “payroll company”? There’s a sheet on what’s legit. Got a Ltd? There’s a sheet for that too.

This map is NOT for you if:

You're employed on PAYE with a payslip and tax code (no CIS)
You run a big contracting firm with staff and a payroll team
You want someone to file for you (this is a guide you follow yourself)

Questions

Frequently asked questions

I'm on 30%. Will this help?

Yes. Sheets 07–09 take you through registering and getting verified at 20%, with the message to send your contractor. The extra 10% already taken isn't lost: it's credited when you file (sheet 31).

I don't have all my statements.

Sheet 14 shows how to rebuild them from your bank (net ÷ 0.8), what to send your contractor and the letter to HMRC. Sheet 15 covers a contractor who went bust.

I live in Scotland.

CIS and National Insurance are the same everywhere in the UK. Your Income Tax bands are different, and sheet 25 has them with a worked example.

I'm paid through an umbrella or agency.

Sheet 38 shows what a legitimate deduction looks like, the red flags and what changed on 6 April 2026. Sheet 39 helps you check if you're really self-employed.

I have a limited company.

Sheet 43 covers how a Ltd gets its CIS back through payroll (EPS) and the year-end refund claim.

I never filed for some years.

Sheet 45 is the catch-up plan. HMRC already holds your deductions; filing is how you claim them. Sheet 34 shows the 4-year window (2022/23 closes on 5 April 2027).

What's Making Tax Digital and is it me?

Sheets 48–50. If your gross on the 2025/26 return is over £30,000, it starts on 6 April 2027. The sheets show the software, sign-up, the 4 updates and how CIS is added at the end.

Can I print it?

Yes. It's an A4 PDF that reads well on your phone and prints at home.

Does it replace an accountant?

For a straightforward subbie return, it shows you every step. It also tells you when a professional is worth it: years of missing statements with an insolvent contractor, an HMRC enquiry, an employment-status dispute.

Is this tax advice?

No. It's an independent educational guide based on public GOV.UK and HMRC guidance, with sources and dates. It isn't affiliated with HMRC and it isn't individual tax advice.

How do I get it?

Right after checkout you get an email with your access. Download the PDFs and start at “Start here”.

Is it updated for 2026/27 and 2027?

Yes. All 2026/27 figures, plus everything already announced for 6 April 2027 (MTD from £30,000, penalty points, 35p over 10,000 miles) and a dated watch list of what's still changing.

File your CIS return with a map, not with an agent’s fee

Less than 6% of a £354 refund fee.
