We were having a nightmare trying to register my son for self-assessment and get a UTR number for CIS. Many phone calls where I got cut off after waiting for hours, online not working and was giving wrong information et cetera. Unnecessarily difficult! I contacted Camelia - after uploading a few documents which was so simple this was sorted. £36 well spent thank you so much I have recommended you already

Frequently asked questions
CIS stands for the Construction Industry Scheme, a set of HMRC rules for paying subcontractors in the building trade. Contractors deduct tax at source and pass it to HMRC. Registering for CIS ensures you pay less tax (20% instead of 30%) and can claim back expenses.
Yes. Unlike typical self-employed workers who get paid gross, CIS subcontractors have tax deducted by their contractor before payment. Being CIS registered reduces this deduction and allows you to claim refunds.
It’s simple — just fill out our online form and we’ll register you for both UTR and CIS within 24 hours. You don’t need to deal with HMRC directly — we handle it all.
If you’re not yet self-employed, we’ll register you for Self-Employment and CIS in one go. All you need is your National Insurance number and a job role within construction (e.g. plumber, electrician, labourer).
If you’re working in construction, registration under CIS is essential. It ensures you’re only taxed at 20%, not the higher 30% default. It also makes you eligible for CIS tax refunds on your expenses and tools.
Most construction roles are covered by CIS, including:
From demolition to finishing touches — if you work in construction, CIS likely applies.
If you provide construction services directly to a homeowner (not via a contractor), you’re typically not covered by CIS. In that case, clients pay you in full and you report income via Self Assessment.
Not quite. You must register for both Self-Employment (to get a UTR) and CIS. However, with Tax2U, we do both registrations at once — just select your construction job role on our form and we’ll handle the rest.
With HMRC, it can take up to 6 weeks. With Tax2U, most clients receive their UTR and CIS confirmation within 10 working days via our FAST TRACK service.
We specialise in helping construction workers get started with self-employment and the CIS scheme. We:
