Recruitment agencies, if you supply CIS workers, this is for you.
CIS isn’t just a tax box to tick. It’s a compliance risk that sits squarely on your desk.
Where agencies get caught out:
❌ Not verifying subcontractors with HMRC before the first payment
❌ Applying the wrong deduction rate (20% for registered, 30% for unregistered)
❌ Late or inaccurate monthly CIS returns
❌ Weak paperwork when HMRC comes asking
Your payroll partner should take this off your plate, not add to it.
At Riddingtons Payroll we handle verification, deductions, statements and returns, so you can focus on placing great people and keeping clients happy.
