CIS Returns Glasgow
CIS returns and Construction Industry Scheme compliance for Glasgow contractors, subcontractors and construction businesses. Fixed fee agreed up front, ACCA-regulated.
Overview
Construction Industry Scheme Compliance for Glasgow Contractors
The Construction Industry Scheme requires contractors to verify subcontractors, deduct CIS tax at the correct rate and submit monthly CIS300 returns to HMRC. Failing to comply generates automatic penalties, interest and potential HMRC compliance interventions. Countify provides CIS returns and Construction Industry Scheme compliance services for Glasgow contractors and subcontractors, handling everything from subcontractor verification and monthly CIS300 filing to gross payment status applications and CIS deduction claims in the self-assessment return.

What you get
Glasgow CIS Compliance, Handled Every Month
Glasgow's construction sector spans large-scale commercial development around the city centre and Clyde waterfront, residential developers building in the south side and east end, trades contractors working across domestic and commercial markets, and specialist subcontractors in glazing, electrical, mechanical and civil engineering. Every contractor who pays subcontractors for construction work must operate CIS — verifying each subcontractor with HMRC, deducting tax at 0%, 20% or 30% depending on verification status, and submitting the CIS300 return by the 19th of the following month. Subcontractors can reclaim CIS deductions through their self-assessment return or, for limited companies, within the PAYE settlement process. We manage the full CIS cycle for Glasgow contractors and subcontractors, including applications for gross payment status where eligibility exists.

Who must register for CIS in Glasgow?
Any business or individual that pays subcontractors for construction work must register as a contractor under CIS. Subcontractors who receive CIS payments must also register to benefit from the 20% deduction rate rather than the 30% rate applied to unverified subcontractors.
When is the CIS300 monthly return due?
The CIS300 return must be submitted to HMRC by the 19th of the month following the month in which payments were made. Late submission attracts automatic penalties of £100 per month.
How do I reclaim CIS deductions suffered as a Glasgow subcontractor?
Sole trader subcontractors reclaim CIS deductions through their self-assessment tax return. Limited company subcontractors offset CIS deductions against their PAYE liabilities or claim a refund from HMRC.
What is gross payment status and can my Glasgow company apply?
Gross payment status allows qualifying subcontractors to receive payments in full without CIS deductions. Eligibility depends on turnover, compliance record and business structure. We assess eligibility and manage the HMRC application process.
What happens if I fail to submit CIS300 returns on time?
HMRC charges automatic penalties of £100 for returns up to two months late, rising to £200, £300 or 5% of the CIS deductions due for longer delays. We ensure your Glasgow CIS returns are filed on time every month.
