The Construction Industry Scheme:

The Construction Industry Scheme (CIS) is a set of special rules for handling payments made by contractors to subcontractors for construction work. Under the HMRC rules Dartford Borough Council is classed as a contractor and as such must ensure that all payments it makes for construction works or construction related works are processed in accordance with the scheme.

All businesses that the Council employs to do construction work or construction related works must be registered with HMRC under the construction industry scheme. The Council will require details of the unique tax reference assigned to the business prior to the work commencing.

For further information on the construction industry scheme visit the HMRC website (hmrc).
