Calculators for the UK Construction Industry Scheme (CIS), for contractors who pay subcontractors. Money in is pounds ("1,200.00" or 1200); money out is { pence, pounds }. Dates are YYYY-MM-DD; pass today's date where a tool asks for it. Each answer lists its GOV.UK and legislation.gov.uk sources. Answers follow the published rules; they are not tax advice and do not come from HMRC.
Known tools 7
cis_deductionWorks out the CIS deduction on a payment to a subcontractor, from the gross bill to the net payment.
Potential side effectscis_gross_upFinds the gross amount (excluding VAT) that leaves a given net payment after the CIS deduction, for a subcontractor quoted a take-home figure.
Potential side effectscis_tax_monthFor a date, gives the CIS tax month it falls in (the 6th to the 5th), the tax year, the date the monthly return (CIS300) is due (the 19th, also the date for paying HMRC by any means other than electronically), and the date for paying HMRC electronically (the 22nd, moved back to the banking day before when the 22nd is a weekend or an England and Wales bank holiday).
Inferred read-onlycis_late_penaltiesWorks out the late filing penalties on one monthly CIS return under Finance Act 2009 Schedule 55: £100 the day after the 19th, £200 at 2 months, then the greater of £300 and 5% of the deductions at 6 and at 12 months (5% alone for a first return).
Inferred read-onlycis_gross_payment_turnover_testChecks the turnover test for CIS gross payment status (Finance Act 2004 Schedule 11, SI 2005/2045 reg 28): £30,000 net construction turnover for a sole trader; for a partnership or company, the lower of £30,000 for each partner or relevant person and £100,000.
Potential side effectscis_needs_verificationSays whether a contractor must verify a subcontractor with HMRC before paying them (SI 2005/2045 reg 6): not needed if the subcontractor was on one of this contractor's CIS returns, or was verified by this contractor, in the tax year of the payment or the two before.
Potential side effectscis_nil_return_checkSays whether a contractor must file a CIS nil return for a tax month (SI 2005/2045 reg 4(9A) and (9B), inserted by SI 2026/289 from 6 April 2026): due when a mainstream contractor that has paid subcontractors before pays none that month, unless it told HMRC no later than 14 days before the month started.
