CIS Payroll Services for Construction Companies

Managing payroll under the Construction Industry Scheme is nothing like standard payroll. Between verifying subcontractors with HMRC, applying the correct deduction rate, issuing deduction statements, and submitting monthly CIS returns on time, it’s a process with very little margin for error — and the penalties for getting it wrong add up quickly. For construction companies juggling site schedules, supplier payments and client deadlines, payroll admin is often the last thing there’s time for, yet it can’t be allowed to slip.

E-Tech Consultancy & Services takes this entire process off your plate. We handle subcontractor verification, calculate deductions accurately, generate and distribute CIS statements, and file your monthly returns with HMRC — all on schedule, every time. Whether you’re managing a handful of subcontractors or a large, fluctuating workforce across multiple sites, our team scales with you, so payroll never becomes a bottleneck.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

CIS payroll covers payments to subcontractors under the Construction Industry Scheme. As the contractor, you deduct tax from the labour element of each payment (20% for registered subcontractors, 30% for unregistered, or 0% for those with gross payment status), pay it to HMRC, file a monthly CIS return and give each subcontractor a deduction statement.

Standard PAYE payroll is for employees and deals with income tax, National Insurance and pensions through Real Time Information. Many construction firms run both, and E-Tech handles both together.
