Audit Consulting Group – CIS Gross Payment Status & Net Payment Explained. CIS Gross Payment Status – Maximise Your Income, Reduce Deductions
As a self-employed subcontractor or contractor in the UK construction industry, understanding CIS gross payment status can significantly impact your earnings. At Audit Consulting Group, we help you unlock the benefits of gross status under the Construction Industry Scheme (CIS), so you keep more of what you earn.
Whether you’re new to CIS or ready to upgrade from CIS net payment status, we provide expert support to guide you through the entire process.
What Is CIS Gross Payment Status?
Under the Construction Industry Scheme, subcontractors usually have 20% tax deducted from their payments. However, if you qualify for CIS gross payment status, you receive your payments in full — without any deductions — and pay tax later through Self Assessment.
This gives you better cash flow, more control over your finances, and greater flexibility to grow your business.
CIS Gross vs Net Payment Status
CIS Net Payment Status
- You are paid with 20% tax deducted at source
- Contractor passes the deduction to HMRC
- You may be due a refund at year-end
CIS Gross Payment Status
- You are paid in full with no tax deductions
- You are responsible for paying your tax via Self Assessment
- More income upfront, less waiting for tax refunds
